EdTech Cakap Secured Total Funding of US$ 7.5 Million, 4.5 Million Students Benefited, up to 2023

Meanwhile, within the upskilling pillar, business and management learning courses emerge as the highest niche among all available vocational classes. The academic team at Cakap continues to innovate and design vocational learning curricula with over 1,175 course materials and 19,500 modules available on the Cakap platform.

To date, the initiative to expand the early-stage business units has been ongoing aggressively, starting with Cakap Kids Academy (CKA) -a blended learning facility for school-aged children-, which already has two branches, Cakap English Standardized Test (CEST), an English proficiency test curated by the Cakap curriculum team. CEST has successfully served over 50 educational institutions with more than 13,000 registered students taking the exam. Additionally, there’s the Link and Match program with the launch of a new business line called Cakap Career Hub. Currently, the platform has connected 30 corporate partners with tens of thousands of prospective applicants.

In 2024, Cakap is set to implement the Catalytic Fund program (a collaborative project between the Ministry of Finance of Indonesia and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)) in the 3T areas (Disadvantaged, Frontier, and Outermost). This program aims to provide foreign language learning opportunities to school students in the provinces of West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) and East Nusa Tenggara (NTT). The selection of these two provinces is driven by the significant number of students who often face barriers to quality education, especially communication, environmental challenges, such as drought, hot weather, and inadequate infrastructure.
