0. PREFACE

Season 23 Steemit Learning Challenge (SLC) started with an application invitation uploaded by Steemitblog on 26 January. Season 23 sees a new innovation with the advent of club mentors. This will surely bring more joy to the #learnwithsteem initiative.

Steemitblog has announced the educators (teaching teams and club mentors) through this article which was uploaded on 12 February UTC +7.

There were 7 classes that became teaching teams, two of which applied with assistants. 8 will mentor in 3 learning clubs. A total of 17 educators will run the classes and learning clubs.

3. COUNTRY COMPARISON OF APPLICANTS AND CHOSEN EDUCATORS

Out of a total of 11 countries that applied for educator positions, 4 failed to secure a single position. Below is a table showing the list of applicant countries and the number of applicants and those selected. Venezuela has been the country that has managed to rank first as the country with the most selected educators, successfully securing 8 positions out of 17 applied for, that means 47.06% of all established position this season.

4. CLOSING

The search process for educators for season 23 has ended, the #learnwithsteem initiative through the brand of Steemit Learning Challenge in the season 23 will enter the next stage on February 16th, when the educators is ecpected to upload their first posts. We see a rather significant decrease in the number of teams to 11 (including Steemit Crypto Academy) this season from 15 in the previous season.

To the chosen educators: Wishing you all the best in your new position. May you excel in your new responsibilities!

To the 43 applicants (teaching teams and club mentors) who were not selected (including me): hopefully you (and I) will be selected in the future. Keep going!

And to all Steemians : good luck and have great time Steeming On!

My note as an Indonesian: I feel a little sad, because no one is representing Indonesia this season. Of the 6 class applicants (6 teachers + 3 assistants), none made it through. But, whoever is there and has been selected, are worthy of what Steemit wants to see in the development of SLC in season 23. As always, this will be another great season, I believe.

THANKS

I hope this is useful.
