“I created the EduChain platform, inspired primarily by my role as a parent, having repeatedly faced the challenge of finding the most suitable services and educational opportunities for my children. I often asked myself questions like: ‘Which school or kindergarten should I choose? Which extracurricular activities should I enroll my children in? Which sport or development program is best for them? Which club or summer school should I pick?’ Throughout this journey of research, I sometimes felt uncertain and unclear about the quality of the services I was receiving. Fortunately, life gave me the opportunity to immerse myself in the educational field, and for more than ten years now, this mission has been an integral part of my life.”
