In a world where technology is reshaping industries at an unprecedented pace, the education sector is undergoing a transformative evolution. EdTech has emerged as a beacon of innovation, offering solutions that enhance efficiency, personalise learning, and foster stronger connections among teachers, students, and parents. The global EdTech market is on a remarkable growth trajectory, expected to soar from $423.2 billion in 2023 to over $1.2 trillion by 2030.
At Scholastro, we are proud to be at the forefront of this revolution with Orion, our flagship AI-driven platform designed to address the pressing challenges in K-12 education. Orion is not just a product—it is a vision for the future of learning, where teachers are empowered, parents are engaged, and students thrive.
The EdTech industry is being propelled by several key trends:
AI and Automation: From personalized learning plans to automated grading, AI is becoming an indispensable tool in education.
Hybrid Learning Models: The pandemic accelerated the shift to digital and hybrid learning, creating a lasting demand for flexible solutions.
Teacher Productivity Tools: Automating repetitive tasks like grading and report writing allows teachers to focus on what truly matters—instruction and student engagement.
Parental Involvement: Research highlights the pivotal role of parental engagement in student success, and EdTech is bridging the gap with innovative communication tools.
Orion addresses these trends head-on, offering an integrated suite of AI-driven features that include:

The K-12 EdTech market, valued at $150 billion in 2023, is ripe for innovation. While giants like Google Classroom and Kahoot! dominate certain segments, Orion sets itself apart by integrating automation and personalization in a single platform. Our focus on automating teacher workflows and fostering parental involvement positions us uniquely to capture a significant share of this growing market.
