FlashAcademy® shortlisted for Education Resource Awards 

We are thrilled to announce that FlashAcademy® has been shortlisted for the Education Resource Awards (ERA) in two prestigious categories: Primary Resource / Equipment – ICT and Secondary Resource / Equipment – ICT. This recognition stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to supporting innovation and excellence in English as an Additional Language (EAL) teaching and assessment strategy. 

The journey of FlashAcademy® 

With the recognition of FlashAcademy®’s journey in these prestigious award categories, we are reflecting on where it all began. FlashAcademy® was established with a vision to transform language education, our journey began with the real-life experience and challenges faced by our CEO, Veejay Lingiah,  

“As the only non-white pupil in my primary school, I remember vividly the emotions of feeling different and my desire to fit in with the other kids at school. Children deserve to feel limitless, without language barriers. That’s a big part of why my team and I created FlashAcademy®. Because of my own childhood experiences, the EAL challenge completely resonated with me and as a team we were convinced we could help.”
