StudySmarter & STARK launch Corona support campaign for students

As part of a Corona aid campaign for pupils, StudySmarter, in cooperation with STARK Verlag, provides all learning content for all students completely free of charge in order to minimise the impact of school closures on the preparation for the Abitur.

The further spread of the coronavirus Covid-19 is to be curbed in several federal states by closing down all schools. These measures pose great challenges for all pupils, especially when preparing for the upcoming Abitur examinations.

Corona support campaign for pupils

In order to support students, the unlimited use of the StudySmarter learning platform is completely free of charge since Friday. In cooperation with STARK, all textbooks of the publisher and thousands of exercises can be learned chargeless. Herewith StudySmarter & STARK want to enable students to prepare for exams autonomously and independent of location.

Since the beginning of the support action, the benefits have been noticed by more than 350,000 students. StudySmarter Premium licenses worth 19 million euros have been granted free of charge.
