History[edit]

Solve Education! was founded in December 2015 after Peng Tsin Ong attended the Africa

Innovation Summit in Cape Verde in 2014[6] where he led a plenary session on financing

innovation.[7] At the end of the summit, he engaged stakeholders from Africa on the ideal educational

intervention for narrowing the gap of education inequalities to help produce knowledge workers for

a knowledge economy.[4] It was after the summit that Solve Education! was born, to offer scalable

educational interventions which can work with limited infrastructure in low income countries in Asia

and around the world.[6]

olve Education! (SE!) is a global technology non-profit organization founded in 2015 by Peng Tsin

Ong and Janine Teo (Peihan).[1][2] Solve Education! is making education and employment accessible

to children and youth who do not have access to school around the globe.[3][4]

Using a mobile game application, out-of-school youth can improve their literacy rate, improve skills

such as life skills, numeracy skills, and gain work experience which will better prepare them for the

upcoming challenges.

The team at Solve Education! consists of subject experts who have developed an educational

gaming app with which they deliver lessons to students from developing countries. It is

headquartered in Singapore, and it has offices in Indonesia, the United States, India and Nigeria.[5]

In 2017, Solve Education! launched its mobile learning app, Dawn of Civilization, in Indonesia.[8]

Janine Teo, the incumbent chief executive officer, is a member of the high-level advisory group on
