MaarivLearning gaps exposed in middle-school results created a need to close gaps as early as kindergarten — and someone took up the challenge.
Quotes by Chen Bareket
Selected excerpts from the interview.
We set out because we saw real distress among children and parents. The war created a situation in which many children lost learning continuity precisely in the most critical years for language, thinking and confidence development. Our goal was to create a simple, accessible tool that would allow every family to start practicing at home right now.
We believe good educational technology should start from the child. The question is how to identify earlier who needs help, how to turn practice into something a child wants to do, and how to give parents the feeling that they have a practical way to help. Especially now, after such a complex period, this is not just an educational question. It's a question of equal opportunity.
AI is the means here, not the starting point: the need is to identify difficulty early and give families accessible support. Connecting research, product and equal opportunity is exactly the kind of social innovation we work to advance.
