Education Perfect Expands Into Asia With New Office in Singapore

29 May 2019: With the appointment of Alex Burke as the new CEO, Education Perfect, New Zealand technology company, is leading innovation in future learning, with its sights on expanding into Asia.

Alex Burke said, “Since the outset Education Perfect has obsessed about the customer, looking to bring joy to the classroom. Education Perfect has created a micro learning platform that has been built with the human in mind, the teacher, and that truly resonates.

Singapore, where I am based places a big importance on education and I believe our platform can enable transformative teaching and learning experiences to power the 21st century classroom. We are helping make teachers extraordinary and giving students the best chance possible. With Singapore’s focus on technology, innovation is imminent.”

Alex will help the business take a leadership position in education and create more powerful learning and teaching strategies globally. With 4,500 positive teacher reviews, > 1 billion questions answered in 2018 and 1,700 schools using the platform across Australia, New Zealand and Asia – the future is very bright.

The expansion is perfect timing as New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and Singapore Prime Minister Lee announced a New Zealand-Singapore Enhanced Partnership earlier this month.

Alex adds, “Singapore is leading the world in technology and innovation, and is a proven hub for Asia. It was fantastic to speak with MP Ardern about this commitment and get her support in making Education Perfect the next global Kiwi-technology-export success story.”

“We’re aspiring to design futures. Education is high on the agenda in Asia. There are many players in EdTech but few have built really engaging experiences. I believe Education Perfect is different. Humanising technology for lifelong learners, this is my mission for the business.”
