Executive Summary


Omega project is a Non- Profit organization that offers web based Interactive system that complements classes taken at Elementary schools. The system will have content of all the subjects related to every single chapter elementary grades. Students will be able to access such material in a friendly an interactive fashion from their homes. The students who use this tool will complete content with, interactive sections, games as well as text material. They will have to complete assignments and content.

This is not intended to be a replacement of the regular class but a way to gain better understanding and / or review of covered subjects. It is primarily intended for students that need additional help or could not complete the chapters successfully due: lack of understanding, language barriers, missed classes, fortuity events and others

From the universe of 238000 students in both the TDSB and TCDSB, we are expecting to have approximate 1200 enrollments.

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide Provincial Elementary Public School’s students from grades 4 to 8 with a comprehensive e-Learning tool that will serve as an additional help for them to upgrade their understanding of what has been covered in the regular class. The system will have the content of all the subjects related to every single chapter for the chosen grades. Students will be able to access such material in a friendly an interactive fashion either from home or anywhere that they have access to the Internet.

Our Value

We believe students will have better opportunities if they have comprehensive tools that are being designed with their educational needs in mind.

Family wellness starts by providing them with access to quality education.


Kids with access to supplemental education can have a rewarding learning process.

Education is a major factor when it comes to improve household standard of life

Low income families’ kids should have equal opportunities than those whose families financially healthier.

It is a social responsibility to have innovative avenues to provide regular students and special those who are still adapting to out society with accessible and affordable source of information.

Our Objectives

To develop an interactive e-Learning web based tool than can be used by Ontario public elementary school’s students from grades 4 to 8 to improve their skills and knowledge

To design a non-profit model that can be rewarding for both: stakeholders and sponsors.

To develop a long lasting relationship with sponsors and customers To increase awareness about the impact that education has in household

members’ life style. To provide a framework that can be extended to other grades and

provinces To contribute in the improvement of life quality of Ontarians

Product

FeaturesOmega – Education First Aid for kids @ Home is an Internet based system that can be reached from home or any other place with access to the Internet. The system will allow students that are currently enrolled in grades 4 to 8 of the TDSB or TCDSB to gain access to all the topics of all the chapters of the selected grades. Students will have access to the specific grade. This information will be presented in a very interactive and friendly manner. The content will be specially designed for the age of the intended audience and it


will include, exercises, games, riddles among other sections to serve not as a student tool but as a rewarding and interesting experience.

The system is not intended to be a replacement of regular classes; the student will be able to access the system from home en different occasions: When the student could not attend to class; when the student did not understand a subject; or even when the student feels that additional guide is required.

The following is an example of the detail that will be part of the content:

Grade 4Subject MathematicsChapter Sense and Numeration / Data Management and

ProbabilityExpectations This task gave students the opportunity to demonstrate

theirachievement of all or part of each of the following selectedexpectations from two strands – Number Sense and Numeration,and Data Management and Probability. Note that the codes thatfollow the expectations are from the Ministry of Education’s

The task requires students:

• use price lists to determine the cost of pizzas from two differentparlours, and then determine which parlour provides thebest value;• use collected and given data to make decisions about classpizza orders;• solve problems related to fractional parts of pizzas;• show possible combinations of pizza toppings.Presented with flyers from two pizza parlours, students determinedand recorded all the possible prices of large pizzas fromthe two parlours, and determined which of the two parlours hadthe cheaper pizza. Students then conducted a survey of the pizzaneeds of their class, collected and graphed the data, and used theinformation to decide what type of pizza should be bought forthe class.


Next, students used given data from a tally sheet and a bar graphto decide how much pizza a class should order. They also solvedproblems about fractional parts of pizzas, and they showed thepossible combinations of given pizza toppings.

Number Sense and Numeration content

1. represent, and explore the relationships between, decimals,mixed numbers, and fractions using concrete materials anddrawings;2. compare and order whole numbers and decimals using concretematerials and drawings;3. understand and explain basic operations (addition and subtraction)of decimals by modeling and discussing a varietyof problem situations;4. solve problems involving whole numbers and decimals, anddescribe and explain the variety of strategies used;5. compare and order whole numbers and decimals from 0.01to 10 000 using concrete materials, drawings, and symbols;6. represent and explain number concepts and procedures;7. represent, compare, and order mixed numbers and properand improper fractions with like denominators (e.g., 1⁄ 5 and3⁄ 5 or 1⁄ 8 and 4⁄ 8) using concrete materials and drawings;8. select the appropriate operation and solve one-step problemsinvolving whole numbers and decimals with and without acalculator (e.g., how much change will you receive whenyou purchase an $8.95 item with $10?).

Data Management and Probability content

9. collect and organize data and identify their use;10. interpret displays of data and present the information usingmathematical terms;11. conduct surveys and record data on tally charts;12. explain how data were collected and describe the results of a


survey;13. use conventional symbols, titles, and labels when displayingdata;14. construct labelled graphs both by hand and by using computerapplications, and create intervals suited to the rangeand distribution of the data gathered;15. read and interpret data presented on tables, charts, andgraphs, and discuss the important features.

Additional applications

Teachers should be able to monitor or provide specific on certain cases depending on the situation but this is not mandatory

Teachers will have to accept the results from the system unless the chapter has been assessed already.Every teacher will be able to give a weigh to the content achieved depending on their specific plans

Special subjects included such as:

What to expect from the systemWhat to expect in secondary and how to get ready for itHow to get the most advantage from the systemSkills awareness (This can be accessed at any time by any student of the subject schools)Career patterns (initiation)

Students being aware of possible options and how to manage such options in time

Positioning and Competitors

There are many registered and unregistered tutors in Toronto. Approximately 30% of the students in grades 4 to 8 require tutoring in different subjects. There are many different segments in the tutoring business

Organized tutoring business These are the organized and well established companies that provide different ways of tutoring the children. They may use personalized tutoring (at centers or at home), online tutoring. These companies are already well established in the market and charge a reasonably more than the market rates. They have many centers at different locations and market themselves as the leaders in the business. They charge CAD 45- 55 / hr

Government entities The government also has many support functions in terms of tutoring. They provide online tutoring in form of Virtual school. These services are only available for a short period and only for limited subjects. They have a policy that they accept students from TDSB day schooling only. They offer e-learning only to students in 10th, 11th and 12th grades.

Unorganized sector (independent tutors) This is one of the major groups in the tutoring business. They are the set of individuals who provide in home tuitions. They work in an unorganized manner and may not necessarily be qualified enough to provide such services. They operate upon references and use their experience as a method of tutoring. Many of the school professors also work as part time tutors. They charge from CAD $ 15- 35 / hr

Online TutorsThese are companies that provide online support to children in specific subjects. They may use e-mail, phone or one on one tutoring. They don’t


share the entire course content with the children but work only on the specific subjects. They charge approximately CAD $ 25-45 /hr.

Marketing Plan

Market Segmentation

The target market:-

Increasing number of single parents.We are seeing the trend of more single parents. Single parents have more limited budgets than parent that live in couple.

Working parents. In the middle income family both mom and dad have to work. The time they can take to dedicate to their kids is short. These families can see value in saving time from commuting

Increased post-secondary entrance competitions.As population increases, there is more competition to get post-secondary education.

Increased test stress.Stress increase as student feel less prepared for tests

Conventional education system.There are gaps in the conventional education system, including but not limited to teachers needing to deal with multiple level in one classroom, as well as lack of time to assist students on a one to one basis

Affordability With all the costs lately conveyed to households, middle-low and low class are struggling with their budgets. The kid’s education is impacted negatively


New immigrantsFor new immigrant children there are additional challenges such: Language barriers, education style. Even though they overcome these challenges in time, parents are very concern about their education. With limited income in their first years in Canada, parents will see value in providing their kids with the opportunity to review the content seen in regular classes in an user friendly fashion.

To bridge gap between different education system.There is big gap, between grade 8 and grade 9, when it comes to what is expected from the students

Macro Economy – PEST Analysis

PEST analysis is concerned with the environmental influences on a business. The acronym stands for the Political, Economic, Social and Technological issues that could affect the strategic development of a business.

Political A government initiative creates the risk that the school may fail to deliver the policy or be diverted away from local priorities etc.

Changes to the skills required to be a teacher/ tutor Changes to curriculum with short lead times Requirement to be self managing Requirement to be self financing Long time to take decisions

Economic Central or local government funding decisions may affect school/ establishment finances

Ability of parents to raise funds for optional activities Ability to invest ’savings/ surpluses’ Cost of providing resources:

o Staff – Developers & programmers o Basics – supplies and utilities o Technology – High end servers to support online streaming

The risk of highly valued, key staff moving on to more ‘up and coming’ schools/ academies


Social Decline in birth rate, reflecting national trends Demographic changes may affect likely pupil rolls or the nature of

pupils needs e.g. pupils with English as a second language etc. Changes to qualifications expected Integration with local community Integration of students with special needs Information is accessible to students anywhere in the Toronto via

the Internet Staff were not given enough training or access to effectively

change their habits and how they expected information to be made available

Technological

Changes to standards/ equipment required Risk of selecting the wrong technology at times of change (i.e. windows -v- open source) New computer viruses may affect operations, Move from paper based books to e-book readers Computer hardware being out of date Computer software being out of date Time to manage IT systems

SWOT Analysis

StrengthOne of the major strength are the services are offered to families free of cost. Being the first non for profit organization in the business to offer such kind of extensive services to families who can’t afford.

The product is the first of its kind to incorporate the selected elementary grades complete curricula in an interactive and user-friendly fashion.

As the system intends to keep the same flow on the topics and events related to any given chapter or subject, kids and parents alike should be able to easily identify and accomplish any topic without having to get to the previous or to the next ones. Teachers will be able to accept such accomplishment as a regular class assignment when needed, subject only to parents witnessing the achievement made by their kid.

WeaknessThe system is only intended for Ontarians public elementary students of the selected grades. In order for this system to be use in other provinces, the corresponding rules, regulations and content requirement will have to be addressed. Nonprofit organization has three fiduciary duties under current law: the duty of care, the duty of loyalty, and the duty of obedience


Also kids tend to procrastinate when they have to set their own pace to learn. We are including a set of incentives that will make it more appealing for kids to log on regular basis to the system. We will also encourage parent’s participation to propitiate their kids participation and completion of tasks.

OpportunitiesOmega-EFAK is intended for Kids enrolled in Grades 4 to 8 in the Toronto Public Educational system. Once this phase is accomplished, the service can be extended to the rest of the Elementary Grades.

Omega-EFAK is intended for Kids enrolled in Grades 4 to 8 in the Toronto Public Educational system. Once this phase is accomplished, the service can be extended to Other Provinces and / or to the Secondary education

ThreatsThis is an ambitious system that requires the participation of many sectors. We will have to provide tangible benefits early after the implementation process so the system become an integral part of the Public education system.

Strength First in the business & Non-Profit Complete course content for all

subjects available at one spot. Attractive incentives for extensive

participation

Weakness Fund raising & solicitations To be informed at all the time. Lack of concentration by kids.

Opportunities Growth in other provinces in

Ontario Providing the course in French

Language Growth to other grades

Threats Lack of support from the sponsors

could be fateful. Non availability of internet

Organization Strategy


As the company is in its beginning stages, all the managers will have both strategic and tactical responsibilities and will cover the duties indicated below when they take place. In many occasions they will have to engage some operative.

They will also have important role in the development of the system and will interact regularly with the contractor firm or specialist assigned to the project.

Business Model

Our business model is valued on the service we provide though our e-learning website. The site is inteneded for kids so it very user friendly and easy to use. Our website will aslo feature our sponsors and their product. We accept donations from our website through paypal and will highly secured. We will not sell any of our donors and sponsors information.

This business model is designed over highly sohisticated and integrated servers which will also be used to interact, chat and communicate with kids, parents and sponsors.

We plan to loose money some months but will create and hold surplus for first 2 years. After 2 years we plan to invest 35% of the surplus into conservative investment.

We also plan to collaborate with other state boards in near future and to get asoociate with some other organisation with common mission and vision.

Future Plans

Economy down and up turns affect households in the short, medium, and long term. The most being affected are those who don’t have saving nor investing possibilities. While the currency gains value, households salaries tend to decrease, especially for those who are new to their jobs or are still looking to be hired. At Omega – EFAK we believe that quality education starts at home. Households with small or none capacity to save tend to reduce the


financial allocation toward tutoring and extra curricula help for kids. By the other hand we have had many samples on how the provincial government finds its way to restrict and segment public services in all area including education, raising taxes among other. Omega – EFAK is an expansion of the Public Education for the selected grades and have a great potential for growing.

Omega - EFAK for Grades 1, 2 and 3Maximizing Market Penetration is the main objective of the Omega – EFAK system in the first stages. As we walk toward the completion of this phase, new approaches will be made to extend the scope of the system to the rest of the elementary grades. This natural market for EFAK as parents will be expecting it. The success in the first phase is critical for the expansion. We believe additional effort will have to be provided for kids that are in grades 1 to 3. These are younger kids that may need extra help and complementary approach.

Omega - EFAK for other provincesThe initial scope of the system is to serve as an extension of the public education sector in Ontario. Once the system is in place we will have a specific technological framework that will allow us to expand to other provinces. Current Sponsors will have the first opportunity to expand their role but also other sponsors will be very open to the idea due our previous experience.

Omega - EFAK in FrenchOne of the biggest challenges to all Ontarians initiatives is to penetrate the Franco-speaking market. We believe there is always room for good initiatives. The system should be able to find audience in Quebec as well as in other provinces were there is a large population of people who is speaks French as a first language. Omega – EFAK will not only be a bi-lingual system but will have to address the specific Need, Wants, Interest, and Demands of the market it is intended to serve.

Financial Statements

Initial IT Costs – Components

Internet and special application servers (web server) - this are robust computers, which are constantly switched on and connected to the Internet so that each Internet user around the world can access your website at all times. These computers are built up with selected high quality components, which can endure incessant work and high load.Depending on the expected load and the type of services, which this computer will provide, different configurations can be set up. As far as database hosting is concerned, for example, a multiprocessor solution combined with small-sized but very fast and stable hard disks would do just great, whereas a single processor configuration with many large size hard disks would be apt with file/image hosting. To ensure better Internet connectivity, the given server is stored in a data center, where it is mounted into a special rack, which offers good ventilation and easy maintenance.

How would the system would look like


Mock up IT Infrastructure


Estimated Market PenetrationThere are close to 184,000 students in the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) and 54,000 in the Toronto Catholic District School Board (TCDSB) for a


total of 238,000. Only an approximate of 50% of those students belongs to the grades 4 to 8 for an approximate number of 119,000 students in both Toronto School boards.

According to Statistics Canada, 12% of the students have less than 3 years leaving in Canada for a total of 14,280 students. We are conservatively expecting action from only 15% of this group for a total of 2142 students expected to enroll in the first 3 years. The number of students with more than 3 years in Canada is 104,280. We are conservatively expecting action from only 5% of central Zone group, for a total of 1200 students to enroll from this segment in the first year.

Estimated Total and Repeated Customers

We are expecting 100 new enrolments monthly and a desertion rate of 10% for an approximate of 120 new enrollments monthly. With the corresponding marketing actions and promotions, we are expecting to balance out high and low demand month to a total of 4000 enrollments in 36 months. We are expecting that 90% of our customers will repeat the experience and continue to use the system for the years to come.

Our forecast has been made based on 3 years but we believe this numbers will growth systematically after the 4 years for the following reasons:

As the system is known by more and more people, the work of mouth effect will dramatically increase the demand.

Our promotions and successful experience will create interest in the population that has not enrolled yet.

Canada immigration policy will allow more people to immigrate to the country and in particular to Ontario
