The world we live in today has been drastically altered by the Internet. Of all the things that have changed, the way we learn and absorb knowledge has probably taken the sharpest turn.

Gone are the days of having to go to libraries and pouring over paperback books when searching for a particular nugget of information. These days it’s web browsers and search engines. Anything under the sun – type it in and you have your answer.

Heck, even the way we, parents communicate with teachers and get updates on our children’s progress in schools, are via apps.

What does this say for our kids and their education if we can’t expect them to study the same way we did? 

What is now good enough for our children?

Knowing how competitive the Singaporean education system can be, it is extremely comforting to learn that the content being delivered to your child has been especially designed with this in mind.

Co-founder of Zookal, Jon Tse acknowledges this concern, “Our high quality resources save students and parents time and money in an increasingly competitive academic environment. The platform helps to enrich the learning experience of students through providing bite-sized, interesting and stimulating content that is specifically designed for PSLE, O Levels, A Levels and University students in Singapore.”

It certainly helps us breathe a little easier.
