AfrJigi
AI-powered exam preparation for students in Côte d'Ivoire (BEPC & BAC)
AfrJigi is an educational platform built around Akili, an AI tutor that guides students through their national exam preparation (BEPC, BAC Général, BAC Technique) using official Ivorian curriculum documents (DPFC programs, past exam papers, official lab worksheets).

Why AfrJigi
- 300,000+ students take the BAC in Côte d'Ivoire every year
- BAC pass rate around 40% (2025, up from 34% in 2024) — source: DECO, Côte d'Ivoire
- Near-universal smartphone ownership, but limited access to qualified teachers (especially in sciences)
AfrJigi meets students where they already are — on their phone, and soon on WhatsApp — with a tutor grounded in the real curriculum, not generic web content.
How Akili works
- Guides, never gives the answer directly — a Socratic method that keeps students actively engaged
- Two modes: Étude (study, leaning on official programs/lessons) and Examen (drills on real past papers)
- Matched to the real curriculum: separate content and tone for BEPC (3ème), BAC Général and BAC Technique
- Built for the real device: full web app (native WhatsApp access in rollout), formulas offered as multiple-choice taps instead of hard typing
