The Secret Cubbes Grand Plan

Hush, Hush, let it remain a secret
By now, you’ve probably heard of Cubbes. We’re that new tech company that’s all about making life easier for students and helping them ace their studies

You might have seen our app, read our social media posts, or heard about us from one of the many students who use Cubbes. And if you haven’t, now you have! But what’s the big picture? What’s the master plan behind Cubbes? Buckle up, because I’m about to take you on a journey through our vision for transforming education and creating opportunities for the next generation.

In the heart of Africa, where the youngest and fastest-growing population resides, the struggle for quality education, the fourth Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), is a reality many face daily. This is where Cubbes steps in with a bold vision!

Our vision is simple yet profound: A world with seamless access to resources and tools to make everyday living better. We believe that every student, regardless of their location or economic background, deserves access to quality educational resources, tools, and opportunities that can transform their lives.

However, all of these cannot be achieved in one fell swoop. We cannot take students from the manual, crude way of learning they are used to now, to the Eureka we have in mind. I can, however, guess your next question: What are the plans to get there? Let me walk you through step by step:

Step 1: Universal Access to Educational Resources

Imagine a world where every student, no matter where they are, have the resources they need to excel. We’re on a mission to democratize education by creating an extensive library of digital resources accessible to all students. No more scrambling for that one textbook in the library or begging classmates for notes. We’re putting the power of comprehensive, up-to-date educational materials directly in the hands of our users. Universal access to resources accelerates bridging the gap between the haves and the have-nots. It creates a world of equal opportunity, and opportunity is what most people need to succeed.

Step 2: Infusing Learning with AI

We know learning doesn’t have to be a struggle. With the power of artificial intelligence, we’re turning studying into a personalized, adaptive, and interactive experience. Our AI-driven tools analyze students’ performance, understand their strengths and weaknesses, and provide tailored study plans. It’s like having a personal tutor that’s always there to guide you, making study experiences more effective and enjoyable and study performances more successful.

Step 3: Fostering a Collaborative Student Network

Education is not just about individual achievement; it’s about community. At Cubbes, we’re building a vibrant network where students can collaborate, share knowledge, and support each other. Picture a digital campus where you can connect with peers from around the world, join study groups, and tackle projects together. We’re creating a global learning community where collaboration is key to success and endless opportunities.

Step 4: Empowering Students with In-Demand Skills

So, we’ve given students access to resources and tools and connected them. They are excelling and acing exams. But does that mean they are ready for today’s job market and the future? We don’t think so. In today’s fast-paced world, everyone needs skills that go beyond the classroom. That’s why Cubbes will integrate skill-based learning into our platform. From coding to communication, we will offer courses that equip learners with the skills demanded by the modern job market. We will help everyone who comes across our platform build a versatile portfolio that makes them job-ready from day one.

Step 5: Build Rails for Payment and E-Commerce

Nigeria has 5 million tertiary students, while Africa has about 50 million. That enrollment rate keeps going up every year, the fastest growing in the world. Each of these students makes payments for their academic sessions, faculty dues, and hundreds of other payments in a school session. Most of these payments are still done manually. With all those students on our platform, it is our duty to ensure we build rails for making payments seamless for them, whatever the payment may be for. This applies directly to e-commerce activities as well, which run into billions of dollars, as well as other student-related activities.

Step 6: Help Students Get Access to Flexible Credit to Get Educated

Cubbes will increase educational opportunities for more students by offering student loans and financial aid programs. Our goal is to make higher education attainable for everyone, regardless of their economic background. We know that by removing financial obstacles, we can help more students pursue their academic goals and achieve their full potential.

Step 7: Bridging Education and Employment

Here’s where it gets really exciting. If you’ve been following up to this point, you’d realize that we’re not just about education; we’re about creating opportunities. With the data we gather—grades, contributions, skills, and more—we will build the largest talent pipeline in the emerging market. Our goal is to connect students and graduates with employers seeking bright, talented individuals. We will have succeeded in bridging the gap between education and employment, ensuring that hard work translates into real-world success.

The Grand Plan Summarized:
  1. Give students access to resources and tools of the 21st century.
  2. Get millions of students connecting and collaborating, creating huge network effects.
  3. Empower students with in-demand skills.
  4. Build rails for facilitating e-commerce activities and payments for learners.
  5. Use student loans to help increase opportunities for more students to get educated.
  6. Build the largest talent pipeline in the emerging market.
Whew… Hope I didn’t bore you there.
But there you have it—the Secret Cubbes Grand Plan. Our promise is to help shape lives and empower people. You can call us the Shapers, which is exactly why our name (Cubbes) is a shape—a cube shape.
