TEAM PROSCOLA
We are a dedicated team of teachers with many years of professional teaching experience. Having worked in state and private schools and with established and reformed educational approaches, experience has led us to determine which meaningful work processes are to be implemented in information technology, and which are not.
​
In developing Proscola one of our aims was to simplify the mundane tasks and to make it possible for teachers to concentrate on what is most important: Teaching.
​
The team is enriched by an exceptional business analyst with more than 20 years’ experience in the field of software design. His immense wealth of experience in leading and building companies and software have been invaluable in developing Proscola GmbH.

Together we have a vision - to bring schools into the digital age and to make educational structures and teaching materials available to disadvantaged regions and countries.
