Giving Parents One-Up With the Easi-Edge


Today I remember a somewhat funny but insightful event in the life of one of my close friends that he found time to recount gleefully during our days at the University. The talk then centered on the “smart-foolishness” of youth at times and he told the story of when during his preparation for examinations, he would prepare with the past-question booklets and was required to finish a subject or two before the arrival of his father. However, to create time for his youthful love of soccer, he found ways to always present the same set of questions and subjects he had attempted previously to his father. Thus he only had to spend time on Monday to do the real-work attempting a few subjects while Tuesday through Friday he spent repeatedly passing off the Monday work as fresh work for those days! For a weary civil servant that his father was, who was already tired from the day’s work and was only making the attempts to be an all-round good parent and check what his son had done towards academic progress before retiring finally for the day, the circumstances easily favoured my friend’s con. However, who was the loser? Of course my friend admitted with the benefit of hind-sight years later that he was! The old-man had done his own part with the best of intentions, even though he never caught up to the con.
Fortunately today, with EasiPREP Internet-based examination practice platform, such cons as the one my friend’s pulled on his dad are now practically impossible to carry out. After a student has logged unto the EasiPREP platform and completed practice sessions, a good parent can easily login to the EasiPREP platform and see the results of the practice sessions of his or her son or daughter, complete with the date and time of practice, the subjects and the scores obtained at each practice session amongst a host of other valuable information. With that, a parent can know the precise time his or her child practiced with the EasiPREP platform, see the progress being made in each subject area and much more. Another exciting fact about the EasiPREP platform is that the parent can check his or her child’s progress and reports from anywhere with internet access i.e. during break at work, after-work hours or on mobile internet devices like phones, tablets and laptops with internet access! For a busy urban lifestyle as obtainable in Lagos and Abuja where parents could consistently get home real late, this seems god-sent for parents who want to take active interest in their children’s education.
