Every year, over 800,000 students in Myanmar take the matriculation exam, with barely 28 to 32 percent passing. Apart from receiving distinction and good ratings, we can confidently state that only 1 out of every 100 passing students fully comprehends the materials. There are various reasons for this, the most important of which is that kids and their families cannot afford to learn with highly competent professors due to the high cost of teaching with them. Second, even if the students' families could afford it, finding a highly qualified instructor is extremely difficult; as a result, students are forced to travel and stay in other parts of Myanmar, away from their homes, in order to study with highly educated teachers. Finally, most students and teachers struggle to grasp the fundamental principles of difficult mathematics subjects like vectors, trigonometry, and calculus. At ConceptX, we focus on creativity and innovation rather than the knowledge that can be found in a book. We have a mantra "For the New Blood" and "Beyond knowledge is thinking"​. At the very heart of ConceptX, we are to Think, Create and Innovate to have the positive educational impacts on the generations of Myanmar. Keeping those values in our heart, we want to solve the aforementioned problems by creating lecture videos, old questions and ebooks with the highly qualified teachers making the education affordable at a price of 10 times cheaper than the current tuition rates, and easy to access for everyone to learn the necessary resources and skills. On the other hand, we also create literate program videos making them available for everyone forever. We expect these videos to fill the knowledge gaps of students and teachers that they have missed during their studies, and as a replacement for teachers for regions where teachers could not reach them physically.
