Huy Pham believes that students across the world deserve better, and fixing education has to mean more than just platitudes. What 'fixing' means to Huy is:

👉🏼 Democratizing access to textbooks: transparency about the full cost of education and lower course content prices. (We're disrupting an old stodgy textbook business!)

👉🏼 Opening up engaging, fully-licensed curriculum content to the marketplace that students actually enjoy interacting with!

👉🏼 Speaking with as many higher education institutions as he can, to help them see the world of their students as it could be, not just as it is today

👉🏼 Involving educators in the process, so that professors can create their courses in a simple online platform for free while saving students thousands of dollars in annual textbook costs. with the knowledge that their students will only pay $5 - $20 per semester, instead of hundreds (or thousands!) on archaic textbooks

Since 2016, that's what Classavo has been doing. They’ve been rolling out a simple, affordable, flexible course creator platform for university professors around the world.
