In your lifetime you must have accused your education system at least once for not teaching you the things you wanted or the things which you will be going to be used in the real world. We all go through the same thing.
We all say the same thing about our education system, especially in India, where we learn subjects but don’t know their relevance in the real world. We learn the derivations and principles but we don’t get to know the use of them in things which we want to pursue.
That’s one of the reasons most teenagers don’t take their studies seriously, especially in this evolving world. In the past, information was power. Those who had more information were the better academicians or an entrepreneur. They are the ones who can do something extraordinary in life.
In today’s world, these dynamics are evolving and we face the threat to our privacy has become a commodity that can be obtained by anyone with minimum resources. So now the question is who has the power.
The person who knows how to convert the information into a product by untangling and recognizing the relevance of fundamentals in creation to solve the problem at hand. That’s where this new entrepreneur comes in. Those are the ones shaping this new world, molding it by their own hands into a better tomorrow. Such a vision has been the mission of Ryan Delk, the founder of Primer.

Meet the Creation
Primer is an education platform that is transforming childhood education to make it future-proof so that children can become who they want to be by using all their knowledge from an early age. Only how is that possible?
Primer aims to provide a personalized education that reflects the need of the kids and their creative potential. They make it possible for the kids to become and explore the dream that they are seeing from their open eyes.
The platforms provide a comprehensive curriculum covering all the fundamental subjects and tools to make it easy for parents and teachers to make specialized plans for the kids according to their needs.
Primer provides an extra class for the kids to explore anything they want, from pottery to being an astronaut, and the teachers guide them on this journey so they actually understand how their fundamentals can be used to achieve their dreams and goals. This motivates kids to pay attention to fundamental classes like Maths, Science, and English.
The platform doesn’t only help children. It helps parents too so they can be part of every step and leap that their children are taking, and primer makes it possible for them.
Primers ensure that the kid who needs more help gets it immediately but without demolishing the needs of the kid who wants to move forward.

I loved the approach of Ryan and his start-up Primer. They did a great job of providing support to kids as well as parents. Sometimes educational institutes forget that parents are part of education as well. I wish I could be a part of that creative freedom class so the time I wasted around figuring out things myself could have been cut down by a lot if I had a mentor with me from an early age. We need this kind of education system in India as well, where we have so many young people but not a good and relevant education system.
