We were tired of begging on WhatsApp.
So we built a fair way for students to help each other collect research data — without favors, without guilt.
How this started
Every PFE student in Morocco knows the routine. You need 200 survey responses for your research. Your supervisor wants them by Friday. So you start asking — in the family group chat, in classmates' DMs, in friend-of-friend chains. You end up with 60 responses, half from people who don't match your target profile at all.
It's exhausting, it's awkward, and the data quality is poor. Worse, you know that next semester you'll do it again. And the semester after that. Every cohort, the same routine.
Edu Swap exists because there's a better way. If every student answered one survey before launching their own, everyone gets the data they need — from real students who actually fit their target demographic.
Three principles we don't compromise on
Fair exchange, no money
Answer one survey, earn one credit. Spend one credit, get one response. Credits aren't currency — they exist to keep the loop balanced. You can't buy them, sell them, or trade them.
Real students only
Email verification gates every account. We match responders to your target field, year, and topics — so the people answering your survey are actually in your target population.
Quality over quantity
Validation codes inside each form catch rushed responses before they reach you. A 1:30 minimum visibility timer protects your data from speed-clickers. Reports go to the founder, fast.
Who's behind this
Edu Swap is built by Mohamed Jali, an M2 Digital Marketing student at Mohammed V University in Rabat. The platform started as a personal solution to his own PFE survey-collection problem and is now opening up to students across Morocco. Reach out anytime: contact@edu-swap.com.
What's next
We're in pilot mode — recruiting users one cohort at a time, watching what breaks under real usage, and fixing it. The roadmap leans on what real students ask for, not what looks good in a deck. If you want to influence what gets built, the easiest way is to use the platform and tell us what's missing.
