Here at Sonik Pocket we believe that
financial
education is an
important skill to learn early in life.
Observing first-hand how today’s generation engage with technology is what inspired Usman to create
an
engaging and
interactive digital e-learning platform, which can be viewed as a source of entertainment, combining
educational merit
with real life connection and value to real day goals - why Sonik Pocket was created.
Creating a platform of educational resources that is free to use and making it accessible to all
families, is something
that Usman feels passionately about. Educational inequality is a crucial issue faced today by many
kids
across the UK.
Usman has created an app that is free for all users to use and includes adaptable content for
children
with learning
difficulties and attention deficiencies, advocating for equality in education.

Our research with Strathclyde
University
revealed
that…
72% of guardians find it difficult to discuss financial education with their children. Unfortunately, this does not come as a surprise, considering that financial education, despite being a fundamental skill, remains absent from the Scottish/UK school curriculum.
