Dear reader,

  • I am Wala KASMI

    I am the CEO and founder of Class, a cross border university that turns underused spaces into hubs of hands on learning. Starting a new class no longer requires years of institutional planning or heavy infrastructure. With Class, it takes minutes to connect an instructor, a venue, and motivated learners in your city.

    Education is the most powerful tool humanity has ever created. Yet most people are still confined to rigid systems designed for an industrial era. Only a few, those who can afford elite institutions can access the full potential of learning networks. This has created an unbalanced world where some are empowered to create the future, and others are left behind by it. This divide is similar to the gap before the printing press, when literacy was limited to the powerful. The press unleashed democratic, scientific, and industrial revolutions but only after a generation grew up with new skills, new outlooks, and new ways of learning and collaborating.

    Online learning promised access for everyone, but its average completion rate hovers around ten percent. Class solves this by bringing people together in person, where accountability, human connection, and shared energy raise completion above eighty five percent.

    ClassX will bring the next billion learners into an ecosystem where anyone can access practical skills, learn from world class instructors in their own city, and connect to global opportunities. Our vision is not to scale content but to scale access – territory by territory, city by city — until learning is as ubiquitous as the internet itself. If we succeed, education will become the great equalizer of the twenty first century. Anyone willing to learn and share good ideas will have the chance to grow, to contribute, and to build a more just and sustainable world.

    Welcome!

    On a separate note:


    I enjoy traveling. It’s one of the ways I connect ideas, people, and places. From grassroots movements in Africa to Temples in Japan and Indonesia to innovation hubs in Silicon Valley, travel has always shaped how I see the world and the systems we build.
    I want to share this passion with others too. If you’ve ever dreamed of becoming a world traveler or embracing cruises as a way to discover new horizons, you can start your journey here: Become a world traveler.
