Introducing 5app partner DEfactoED

5app is thrilled to announce its partnership with digital education provider DEfactoED.

DEfactoED specialises in delivering 21st century skills training to children and teenagers – primarily in India and the rest of Asia.

When DEfactoED first started focusing on schools in India, very few organisations were looking to equip young Indian people with vital skills and knowledge, such as AI, cybersecurity, Net Zero and digital literacy. 

Specifically, DEfactoED’s co-founders, David Knight and Tim Field, recognised that education isn’t serving children properly in terms of what’s happening in the world around them. A child sitting in northern India will be learning about Shakespeare’s Othello from a syllabus created 40 years ago, when global warming and the rapid pace of digital change are having a far more material impact on their lives.

As a provider specialising in educating young people, DEfactoED partnered with 5app because the elegantly simple learning and comms platform allows them to build high-impact, intuitive, vibrant learning experiences that appeal to 12-18 year olds. Instead of reflecting the ‘exam factory’ that much of the world’s education system has come to resemble, DEfactoED’s 5app platform, called Lightbulb, is a colourful, gamified digital environment that gets children and teenagers excited about learning.

Over the last year, the growing demand for digital literacy training has led DEfactoED to expand its focus to other burgeoning markets such as Singapore and the Middle East.
