Business Idea: A real-time monitoring and reporting platform for national exams that detects anomalies, flags systemic issues early, and promotes transparency through public post-mortem reports, fostering trust and accountability in education systems.
Problem: The high failure rates in the 2025 UTME indicate systemic flaws, lack of early detection mechanisms, and insufficient transparency, undermining public confidence and hindering educational reforms.
Solution: Develop an integrated software system that implements Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) to identify irregularities in exam data promptly, automatically flag anomalies, and publish detailed post-exam analysis reports for stakeholders and the public.
Target Audience: Education regulatory bodies, government agencies overseeing examinations, educational technology firms, the tech community interested in social impact, and concerned students and parents.
Monetization: Offer the platform as a SaaS (Software as a Service) to government agencies with subscription models; provide consultancy and customization services; and potentially develop enterprise versions for other exam boards.
Unique Selling Proposition (USP): The platform’s ability to integrate early anomaly detection, automate reporting, and operate transparently in a ‘build in public’ manner sets it apart—boosting trust and enabling timely interventions.
Launch Strategy: Start by collaborating with a small education body or exam board to pilot the detection system, gather feedback, refine anomaly detection algorithms, and gradually scale to larger institutions for a broader impact.
