Tell us about your Business, how you started and what inspired you to go in that line of business.
Calculus EDUaids is the first learning aids hub in Nigeria that research, design and distribute curriculum based instructional materials to bridge learning gap in the classroom and aid students retention skills.
The Business started 2015 and officially registered in 2016 with the corporate affairs commission.
The business was inspired by the rate at which learning divide is growing in our classrooms and students failure in both internal and external exams is becoming the music of the day.
So as a teacher I realized the best way to help the situation is to offer a solution that will affect the base of the problem.
