WHY MEFE
Conventional educational models are incapable to cater the educational exigency of millions of OOSC in various countries, as it will require:
1) Several million schools
2) Hundreds of millions of qualified and well-trained teachers, support and administration staff
3) Hundreds of billions of dollars in funding
4) Building a school, finding qualified teachers, and indoctrinating them can take years, especially in remote and rural areas where large number of OOSC live
AI-enabled tablets, with gamified eLearning software accessed remotely with NGO support, along with stipends, subsidies, sponsors & mentors (AIS4M) model is a game-changer!
a) Electronic gadgets (tablets) accessed via Biometric Id’s will engage the interest of each child (technology shall eliminate cheating, theft, fraud, and corruption)
b) Stipends in the form of digital currency, and subsidies (Food, Clothing, Electricity, Internet Access via Blockchain tracking) will further enforce commitment
c) Additional encouragement being offered via free entertainment e.g., videos, movies, songs, games for accuracy, and extra work (delivered in real-time)
d) Mentorship of each OOSC by a national network of in-school children (volunteering 2-3 hours/week) in each country
e) Financed through Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) and Sponsorship by all country Nationals, including overseas Expats and Diaspora for monthly donations or other support
f) Enforcement and support through loan stipulations by International Institutions and lending countries (mandate for providing education to all OOSC)
g) A remote AI-enabled tablet model in conjunction with NGO support, sponsors, stipends, subsidies, and mentors (AIS4M) hasn’t been offered before to OOSC
h) Most effective and cost-efficient model for eradicating illiteracy, thereby ensuring future knowledge-based earning potential digitally for the information age
Every child has an unlimited potential to achieve amazing things given adequate help
a) Stipends
b) Subsidies
c) AI-enabled digital tablet
d) Downloading courses and customized data utilizing biometric identification from the cloud
e) Companionship, support, and mentorship extended by student volunteers, who devote two to three hours per week
f) Constant help from non-governmental organizations (24/7/365), including technical, educational, moral, and psychological support
g) Global sponsorship of OOSCs by regular monetary donations, tablet computers, or other means by citizens of all countries
h) Technologies such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Predictive Analytics (PA) being employed to create dynamic conversational AI-gamified eLessons in regional languages
i) AI algorithms-based real-time lesson customization depending on each child’s interest, behavior, patterns, and reactions to maximize learning potential

FINANCIAL MODEL
Two key challenges for ensuring success are execution and funding!
Requirement of execution that may be secured by partnering with local NGOs in each nation who have decades of excellence in educational services delivery expertise and have served a wide range of needs via comparable programs
Requirement of funding from a range of sources abased on novel incentives, promoting an innovative approach in order to lessen the burden on developing countries governments (Federal, Provincial, State and Local) and their respective agencies
Sample Financials
1) National, Regional, State and Local Government agencies
2) Sponsorships from country nationals
3) International Institutions (UN, IMF, World Bank, ADB, etc.)
4) Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs)
5) Global Foundations (e.g., GPE)
6) Trading Partner Countries

SAFETY AND SECURITY
Security and safety are the key issues in the digital era. Parents are concerned that their children may possibly access content unsuited for their age cohort. However, AI tablets are equipped to protect their users’ privacy and security. Furthermore, only predefined entertainment options and instructional resources will be available on AI tablets thereby providing children restricted access to online resources.
To prevent tablets from slipping into the wrong hands or being used by unauthorized people, AI tablets will gather and store necessary information about each child thereby will eliminate such risk.
