SAPE (Follow-up System for Parents in Education)

SAPE is Family + Teachers = Powerful Students

In 2017, 12.1% (78K) of the students enrolled in a high school program abandoned their studies. 

SAPE is a follow up digital platform (web site + mobile app) that breaks the gap between parents and educators saving the student, his family and the future of the nation.

SAPE, by its name in spanish (Sistema de Acompañamiento de Padres en la Educación), will provide to parents and educators timely information about the academic/emotional/social performance of the student, through an avatar, in order to help him to maximize the educational experience and become a happy and profitable citizen.

We believe that this will change the world because it will change its people and the way they undertake and concieve education.

It is a new application of existing technology plus a new process to solve the problem: for the first time in public education we will develop a digital platform to create an avatar that reflects the academic/emotional/social health of a student. The platform will also provide the means to coordinate efforts between parents and teachers to improve the performance of the student.

The project wouldn't work without an electronic device and the appropriate software.

Decrease drop-out students in 20%.

All the public education system in Mexico from middle to high school, and some countries in Latin America, will be using the app.

Because this idea is sponsored by the state government, as soon as we have the app we will present it to the educational state officers.

They will approve its mandatory use in all public high schools in Aguascalientes and we will retain them updating and improving the app.

We are in the development stage. We do not have users yet.

In the next 12 months we will start serving 400 teenager students between 15 to 18 years old of lower and middle class.

The pilot test will be performed at CONALEP IV, located in Villas del Mirador, Aguascalientes, Mexico.

At this moment it's a possibility to develope the project as a joint-venture with state government.

However, if that doesn't work out, we will be charging an annual fee by student to each middle and high school. 

We are applying to Solve by government's instructions.

Nevertheless, we believe that Solve can help us to contact strategic partners and with coaching to improve our value proposition.

The main barrier is burocracy at government.

Solve can helps us supporting and recommending our solution.
