The structure
Three, six, six, three. The whole ladder in one place.
Zambia runs three years of Early Childhood Education, six years of primary, six years of secondary and a three year degree. Visku Academy is organised around exactly that ladder, so a learner never has to guess which level a lesson belongs to.

How it works
Four steps between opening the app and knowing where you stand.
No timetable to follow and no class to join. A learner works when they have time and a connection, and the record builds itself.
Choose your grade
Pick anything from ECE Year 1 to Form 6 when you sign up. The lesson library, the reading level and even the look of the app change to match the learner in front of it.
Watch the lesson
Short video lessons with the full written explanation underneath, so a learner can read it again without spending data replaying the video.
The quiz marks itself
Answer, submit, and see the score before you leave the page. Every question shows the correct answer and the reason it is correct, not just a tick or a cross.
Your parent sees the result
The score, the time spent and the study advice land in the linked parent dashboard the moment the quiz is submitted. Nobody waits for the end of term.
Subjects
From letter sounds to Additional Mathematics.
Every subject carries its own lessons, quizzes and past papers, tied to the exact grades it is taught at. Open one to see what is inside before you pay anything.

Automatic marking
A score is not much use on its own. So we tell you what to do about it.
Marking is the easy part. The useful part is knowing which two topics cost you the marks, and what to open next. Every quiz on Visku Academy ends with both.
Marked in seconds, not at the end of term
Multiple choice and structured answers are checked the moment the quiz is submitted. The score appears on the same screen.
The weak topic is named, not implied
Answers are tagged by topic, so a score of 7 out of 10 comes back as two specific topics to revisit rather than a single number.
One next step, not a reading list
Every result ends with one instruction that can be done in the next twenty minutes. Small enough to actually finish.
An example result
Chipo, Form 2, has just finished a ten question quiz on solving linear equations.
7/10
70 per cent
Submitted at 19:42, marked at 19:42
- Strong
- Balancing both sides of the equation, and collecting like terms.
- Where the marks went
- Equations with brackets, and changing the sign when a term crosses the equals sign. Both wrong answers came from those two topics.
- Next step
- Rewatch the bracket section of the lesson, then retry questions 4 and 9. About twenty minutes.
This is an illustration of the result screen, not a real learner. Advice is generated from the topics attached to the questions a learner actually got wrong.
For parents
You do not have to ask how school is going.
A parent account is free and sits alongside the learner account. It does not give you a second copy of the lessons. It gives you the record.
- Every lesson opened
- Which lesson, which subject, when it was opened and how many minutes were spent on it.
- Every quiz score
- The mark out of ten, the percentage, and the individual questions that were answered wrongly.
- The same study advice
- Parents read the identical weak topics and next step the learner sees, so a conversation at home starts from the same page.
- One Kwacha bill
- Up to four children on the Family plan, one monthly amount, one mobile money prompt on your line.
Linking takes one 6-digit code
Generate a 6-digit code from your parent dashboard and give it to your child. They type it in once and the two accounts are joined. Codes expire after 24 hours, and you can unlink at any time.
Payments

Approve a prompt on your mobile money line, tap a card or send a bank transfer. Whichever you choose, the amount is the Kwacha figure shown on the plan and nothing else.

In their words
What families tell us they actually use it for.
Three accounts from parents and learners using Visku Academy in Lusaka, Kitwe and Ndola.
I used to hear how Mapalo was doing at the end of term. Now the score reaches my phone the same evening, and I know which topic to sit down with her on at the weekend.
Mwansa KundaParent of a Grade 5 learner, KitweTwo children, one Airtel Money prompt, one amount in Kwacha. Before this I was buying data twice and hunting for past papers in town.
Grace BandaParent on the Family plan, LusakaThe past papers are what I use most. I finish one, it marks it straight away, and it tells me which questions to go back to. I stopped revising the topics I already knew.
Chanda MusondaForm 4 learner, NdolaPricing
One monthly amount, in Kwacha, for the whole stage.
