A brief summary of what INSTACLASS has done so far!

Well, we were among the first in the region and world to venture into the online learning sector, way before the pandemic broke out, our team had a forward vision and acted accordingly.

We started with our initial platform, instaclass.com, targeting individual learners aiming to get extra support & tutoring hours remotely.
It was an opportunity for teachers as well, to get extra income from the comfort of their home.

We then extended into a B2B cloud-based solution "INSTACLASS Portal" allowing teachers, schools and universities to have their own virtual version, conducting classes, courses, tests and much more! A complete virtual school set up in minutes!

Recently, we launched our exciting web app "Ask a Question", a seamless cloud application, where everyone can post their academic questions and get answers by our top qualified tutors.

Our educational department worked around the clock to go over thousands of tutoring applications, keeping only the best!

Yep, quite a journey, we are so proud to see where we are now, E-learning solutions are booming now, which proves only one point, we knew this around 4 years ago!

Many schools often tend to disregard building a decent program for extracurricular activities, giving so many excuses such as "We need to finish the program" or "how would they be prepared for SAT if they did not have enough hours" or even "we need to prepare them well for their official exams end of year".Unfortunately, some old fashioned schools fail to realize that social development is as important as academic progress, it is even more important these days.Why is that? Simply because, successful people nowadays are not only the A+ students, they are actually the students with social skills, soft skills, and students that are problem solvers, articulate, socially active, etc.Teaching & Learning is not enough to enhance those skills and thus the need for extra curricula activities rise.Let your students have enough time to go on trips, field trips, play music instruments, learn how to code a game, be part of a play, chess club, drama club and much much more, and you will see how their personalities will never cease to grow!Check this article from "The Educator" Magazine, click here to open.

INSTACLASS has been working based on this principle for more than 2 years now! We are proud to say that we have always mentioned that Education MUST be dynamic, it MUST evolve within this surrounding ever-changing world.
By dynamic we mean that schools and universities should constantly update their programs to suit what is currently on demand in the market, thus, giving the chance to their graduates to find a place in the job market.
Unfortunately, more than 80% of educational systems and institutions are still rigid, covering topics that are not related whatsoever with the new trends in the market, especially in technological fields.
There are some new majors & skills on demand of which we have never heard 5 years ago! So, is this being reflected in Academic Curricula? The answer is NO in most cases!

Schools and Parents should be aware of this by now, in case one part has a bit of retreat, the other should push towards it!
We cannot accept our children to be enrolled in schools, even top ones, when we still see that technology is not well implemented.
We are not talking about a full schedule or 24/7 being subjected to screens, no body wants that, however, the Use of educational apps, management systems, homework and class work solutions that keep parents involved with their children's progress is now necessary.
