Story
Harriken is a kind of oil lantern that was used by hundreds of millions of students until 90s ( in some areas even more and who knows from when!) in South & South-East Asia as reading lamp after sunset. In this era of digitization, can we even think about that? Do we have that kind of dedication and enthusiasm anymore? The new version of HARRIKEN as an education platform is here to spark the same enthusiasm again.
e-learning and afterschool learning industry is flawed with a major and unsustainable bug and that is a 97% dropout (including Udemy, Udacity & Coursera), according to MIT & Harvard. The reason behind this is education is not about information only, it's about leaving home to make-meet friends, finding lifelong mentors in the name of teachers and learning to live social life and many more fun things other than just getting academic/professional information.
So, our offer is: “No more boring videos, choose and learn from real teachers via live sessions with friends worldwide! Everything at one place, Harriken!”
The world is getting smaller day by day. Making everyone familiar with each other is important to avoid conflict and move forward towards development. If our traditional education could bring us this far, HARRIKEN can be one of the biggest tools through what we can MAKE IT HAPPEN!
