Leading education brands in Singapore collaborate to roll-out the first AI self-marking and evaluation app for home learning

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 4 December 2025 - Singapore's largest education publishers, Marshall Cavendish Education (MCE), and Educational Publishing House (EPH) have partnered with EdTech company Scribo Learning to introduce the first national curriculum-aligned AI-based marking and evaluation app, Vision Workbooks, as part of their AI offerings nationwide.

The app allows students and parents to take a photo of any page from over 30 curated English and Science titles from MCE and EPH, to evaluate answers and provide clear explanations, aligned to the national curriculum. The app also highlights how well students have performed based on the answers provided.

Vision Workbooks is available at all Popular Bookstores in Singapore, compatible with curated titles from MCE and EPH. The app operates on a token-based system with no account expiry, allowing tokens to be used when pages are scanned. Parents can receive weekly WhatsApp reports that provide insights into each child's progress and learning needs.

Based on the Education Statistics Digest 2025 by the Ministry of Education Singapore, more than 230,000 children are in primary schools, with at least 40,000 of whom sit for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). The partnership highlights the opportunity to support parents in providing the right resources for a child's study time at home.

"As a brand, Marshall Cavendish Education has seen Singapore students use our titles for over 57 years. With the expansion of AI use in our classroom learning and for teachers, this partnership is crucial in providing the right resources to not only support parents at home but also equip students with the right platform that will help them thrive through blended learning," said Mr Lim Soon Jinn, Head of Education, Marshall Cavendish Education.
