Gredu Application is Used by more than 300 Schools

The Gredu edtech application supports online education when the government implements distance learning, to limit the spread of Covid-19. The platform, which was launched in early 2020, has now reached 369 schools during a pandemic. Even though in 2019, there are only dozens of schools that have collaborated with Gredu.

“There is a growth of more than 60 percent. Our target for 2021 is to expand to 200 schools, so every year our growth will be doubling,” said Gredu Sales Lead Theresia Andina in a discussion about Gredu, Friday (8/1/2021).

Theresia said Gredu wants to reach at least 70 thousand more users. One way is to expand into new areas in the country. The new areas to be targeted at Gredu in 2021 include Pangandaran, Cirebon (West Java), Southeast Sulawesi, Yogyakarta, and others.

Theresia sees that the opportunity to advance Gredu is still very wide. This is because the number of schools in Indonesia from various levels has reached more than 120 thousand schools. Whether during a pandemic or not, Gredu said it could still be used and supported learning in schools.

Raise Donations to Provide Smartphones for Students

For schools that have collaborated with Gredu, sudden migration is not an obstacle because we are preparing a school management system, KBM, to school administration,” said CEO Gredu Rizki Anies. .
