This startup wants to make Singapore’s rigid, expensive education system accessible and free to everyone

[SMU graduates] Anders Tan and Chia Luck Yong are co-founders of Edusnap – an app for iOS and Android that allows students to snap and submit pictures of questions that they do not know how to answer. Answers are then furnished by other students, or qualified tutors that have been screened by the team. “I wanted to create a platform where there are good tutors who are not in it for the money, but truly want to help those who are not as privileged,” Tan said. While Edusnap started off as a platform targeting the underprivileged, the team’s vision has expanded to encompass all students regardless of their level of income. “Our idea is this: that basic education should rightfully be free,” explained Chia.
