Kurasa Roadmap: Second Quarter Product Features

Welcome to the Kurasa Roadmap! As part of our ongoing commitment to enhancing educational experiences and supporting the Competency Based Curriculum (CBC) in Kenya, we are excited to share the latest product features and updates for the second quarter. Our goal is to empower teachers, students, and parents with tools that facilitate effective teaching, learning, and monitoring of academic progress.

 

Introduction

At Kurasa, we believe in the transformative power of education and the crucial role that technology plays in modern classrooms. Our platform is designed to provide comprehensive support to educators, helping them manage their daily tasks with ease and precision. As we continue to evolve, our focus remains on delivering innovative solutions that address the unique needs of primary education within the CBC framework.

In this second quarter, we have introduced a range of new features and enhancements aimed at further improving the user experience for teachers, students, and parents alike. These updates are the result of extensive research, user feedback, and our unwavering dedication to excellence in education.
