Meet Distinction, FlexiSAF’s AI tool making it easy for teachers to create and students to learn
After transforming how over 2 million students learn, FlexiSAF is taking a bold step with Distinction, an AI-powered platform that helps teachers create courses in minutes and gives students a smarter, more personalised learning experience
<br />
When FlexiSAF first spoke to Techpoint Africa in 2017, its Tertiary Institution Management System (SAF TIMS) and SAF School Management Software (SAF SMS) were patronised by 15 tertiary institutions — including Adamawa State University, Mubi, which happens to be the company’s first paying customer — and over 400 secondary schools across Nigeria.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Today, it has become a prominent player in Nigeria’s ed-tech scene, impacting the learning of over 2 million students by creating impactful solutions to streamline school management and improve learning outcomes. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, the company is taking its mission a step further with the launch of Distinction.app, an AI-powered platform designed to simplify educational content creation for creators and make learning smarter, faster, and more personalised for students.<br />

With over 120,000 learners, 6,000 courses created, 1 million hours of learning, and more than 5.8 million questions answered, Distinction has already made a significant impact on the educational landscape since its launch in April 2024. But what sets Distinction apart is its AI-powered approach to both learning and teaching — offering personalised, engaging experiences for learners while giving educators a powerful tool to easily create dynamic, curriculum-aligned content.<br />
