RevisionSuccess has been awarded a $3,000 grant from the International Baccalaureate (IB) as part of its Global Youth Action Fund, an initiative that supports student-led projects aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The funding, equivalent to over 100,000 Thai baht, will support RevisionSuccess in its continued efforts to develop student-centered educational tools.
The Global Youth Action Fund selects approximately 100 projects each year from applicants around the world. Funded initiatives are chosen for their focus on innovation, youth leadership, and community impact, particularly in areas such as equity, sustainability, and access to education.
RevisionSuccess was founded by a group of ten students from ten different schools, united by a shared goal of reshaping education to be more inclusive and learner-driven. The platform they developed focuses on giving students greater agency in their learning through tools that encourage collaboration, independent study, and peer support.
According to the IB, the selection of RevisionSuccess reflects the growing recognition of youth-led innovation in solving real-world challenges within education. The grant aims to empower recipients to expand their work and contribute meaningfully to global education efforts.
The funding will be used to enhance platform features, expand access to learning resources, and reach more students across diverse communities. RevisionSuccess also plans to invest in developing tools that allow for greater student collaboration and the sharing of ideas across schools and regions.
