Josphat Kiptanui, the founder of Galaxy Xperts Softlabs Limited, has recently developed EduPoa—a platform designed to make Competency-Based Education (CBE) curriculum work effectively in every Kenyan school.
The platform leverages advanced technologies such as AI, cloud computing, and modern web frameworks to create intelligent solutions that drive growth and efficiency.
Additionally, it streamlines administrative tasks and enhances the learning experience for students, teachers, and parents.
The platform aims to address a major challenge that arose with the rollout of Competency-Based Education (CBE): the burden of excessive paperwork for teachers.
Instead of focusing on actual teaching, many educators spend 8 to 12 hours filling out assessment forms and manually tracking competencies—often at the expense of meaningful learner engagement.
EduPoa comes with key features such as student registration and management, CBE assessment tracking, a parent communication portal, and attendance management.
These tools help schools streamline administrative tasks, improve parent engagement, gain data-driven insights, and access the platform easily through mobile devices.
