In Cameroon, many students do not get good guidance for their education and careers. Frédéric Ngaba, an AI expert, created a platform called OSIA to help them. This tool connects students to useful resources and advice for making better choices.
The AI tutor offers personalized help by analyzing students' grades and interests. It includes over 400 test questions collected with the support of official educational bodies. Students can also take a psychometric test to discover their strengths and talents.
Ngaba wants to help even more students and has already reached about 13,500 subscribers across 23 schools.
