Darren Yaw’s wife, Lucy Chow is using Edutech Start-up GCG Asia to provide extracurricular activities to engage children of the Asia Pacific with online learning. To achieve this, they have launched an app named JomBlajar according to GCG Asia’s framework of holistic parameters—the Social Creative Active Model (SCAM).
Established in 2019, GCG Asia is an Edutech platform based in Singapore. This startup was founded by Karen Lai, who is currently the active CEO of this visionary company. Lucy and her husband Darren Yaw made a significant early investment into the company earning her a seat on the board.
GCG Asia’s educational apps Blajar Web and JomBlajar have reached thousands of children in Pacific Asia. They carry out their activities on the basis of the Social Creative Active Model (SCAM)’s holistic parameters. Kids worldwide have been cooped up in their homes for months on end due to the COVID-19 pandemic situation. So GCG Asia’s SCAM framework algorithm will allow kids from Asia to learn different types of extracurricular activities online sitting at home.
Darren Yaw’s wife Lucy is conducting and running this whole system as company boardmember, putting emphasis on ensuring an engaging learning environment to perfectly discover and cultivate a student’s hidden talent. Since 2020, this educational platform has logged almost one million hours of online learning through its official website, all monitored by Darren Yaw’s wife, Lucy Chow.
“In accordance with our SCAM framework philosophy, which believes that learning should be holistic and includes various aspects such as social, creative, and active modes and dimensions. GCG Asia believes in different-sized solutions, so our SCAM framework accommodates each student’s learning style based on their personal needs,” said Lucy Chow, Darren Yaw’s wife and GCG Asia boardmember in a recent official announcement.
This proprietary model of GCG Asia uses Artificial Intelligence, a huge database, and machine learning to provide a supplemental tutoring system and tailor-made guidance to students. The personalised learning experience can also monitor performance and analyse feedback. On the individual-tailored education system, Darren Yaw’s wife, Lucy Chow further explained, “GCG Asia has discovered that this enhances students’ independence and self-regulation, resulting in more productive learning behaviours.”
The SCAM proprietary model developed by GCG Asia’s visionary team of individuals allows kids to learn a wide range of extracurricular activities that virtually suit their tastes and abilities. The JomBlajar app promises to offer students the best quality education at the best possible price, promoting an environment where self-learning is possible and highly effective. The skills the kids will learn and the hobbies they will develop will help them become part of many successful endeavours in the future. Darren Yaw’s wife Lucy envisions a progressive future where kids willingly participate in educational activities because of how engaging they are. With that goal in mind, she continues to teach extracurricular activities via the Edutech Start-up.
GCG Asia’s educational solutions were established in 2019 and rapidly spread among thousands of Malaysia, Indonesia, and Singapore students. Supplemental learning is being made more affordable and accessible thanks to this initiative of GCG Asia and Darren Yaw’s wife, and the rest of the team. Belajar Web, an online hybrid solution that digitally connected learners to tuition centres and tutors, was the first product of the Edutech start-up that received unexpected popularity. According to Darren Yaw’s wife, Lucy Chow, the students gave positive feedback about the site because it allowed them to get after-hours learning support.
And now their JomBlajar app is also receiving similar positive feedback as it lets kids who are stuck and bored at home receive a holistic and engaging approach to learning extracurricular activities. The developer team is also working on improving the features and constantly making amends on the shortcomings.
“We are solving a fundamental problem in the region that is affordability, accessibility, accountability, and flexibility,” Darren Yaw’s wife explained. “We can now devote resources to creating the JomBlajar app and the SCAM model thanks to the success of BlajarWeb. We’re still working on these fundamental issues, but we’re using more modern technology and targeting other areas.”
Darren Yaw and GCG Asia developer team is planning to further expand and deepen the website in other markets from various regions around the world.
GCG Asia is also not going to remain confined to students from Asia. Darren Yaw’s wife, along with the developer team, is planning to further expand and deepen the website in other markets from various regions around the world. Darren Yaw’s wife explains that their next target market will focus on countries like Cambodia and eventually reach the more education-deprived kids of the Middle East countries.
GCG Asia’s transformative SCAM model is being monitored by Darren Yaw’s wife Lucy and her relentless pursuit of creating a personalised learning space. She is working to hone as well as encourage different kinds of talent from different kinds of kids for their early development and eventual flourishment. The data-driven learning platform JomBlajar will assist students in discovering and exploring multiple talents and hobbies, practice them in an engaging and healthy environment, and thus enable their holistic development. It’s a wonderful step forward for a future where the progressive kids of this generation will contribute to the world in their own unique ways.
GCG Asia’s SCAM framework can be a revolutionary blueprint for the future of our education system. About this, Darren Yaw’s wife, Lucy Chow hopes, “Education at all levels from elementary to tertiary levels is being revolutionised. GCG’s proprietary Scam education model is part of this transformative wave. Even after the pandemic has passed, we foresee that the schools and institutions that understand that the future of education is in developing personalised, modular learning environments that can be used anywhere. Those that don’t, will be left behind, and the children will suffer.”
Accelerating the digital transformation of educational organisations and launching new Edutech ventures no longer seems like an island on the other side of the sea for the Asia Pacific. This will be a laid-out reality in the near future, thanks to GCG Asia’s Edutech Start-up and the admirable efforts of Darren Yaw’s wife in spreading extracurricular activities among children. GCG Asia is using the proceeds of their growing capital investment interests to build stronger projects, richer curriculums, and more precise technologies. The company also plans to market the SCAM proprietary model to other education providers and globalise it to the best of its abilities.
