The school management system built for Zambia — fees, results, attendance, timetables and parent communication, all in one platform.
The day-to-day work that overwhelms schools — handled end to end.
Real-time arrears, statements and mobile-money collections — always know who owes what.
Enter marks once; the system computes grades, analysis and report cards, then SMSes parents.
Daily class registers with instant summaries and absentee alerts.
Build and share class and teacher timetables in a few clicks.
Exam results, fee reminders and announcements straight to parents' phones.
Parents check fees, results and attendance on any phone — no internet, no app.
Five formats, three layouts, your school's colours — and the analysis already done.
Every card is generated from the marks your teachers already entered — no retyping, no spreadsheet, no late nights before closing day.
The same pupil, the same marks — three layouts. Choose one as your school's default, or preview them all first.



Early Childhood, Lower Primary, Upper Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary each get the right subjects and the right grading scale — not one template stretched to fit a nursery and a Grade 12.
Modern, Classic or Ink-saver. Pick the one that looks like your school and make it your default.
Your logo, your motto and your colours on every card. Parents get something that looks like it came from you — because it did.
Download a sample report card while you're setting up. Know exactly what goes home before a single one is printed.
Averages, subject-by-subject strengths and weaknesses, and how a child is trending term over term — worked out automatically from the marks your teachers already entered.
See how a class or a whole grade is performing, then export any of it to PDF, Excel or CSV for the board, the PTA or the Ministry.
Class average, how each subject is really doing, which pupils are struggling, and where the next intervention should go — in the teacher's own portal, not just the head's.
Being built now. Marked clearly so you know what you get today and what you don't.
Which pathway a pupil's own marks point toward — Science, Arts, Commerce, Technical — with the reasoning shown, not hidden. It suggests, and a teacher decides. It will never choose a child's pathway for them.
Marks show what a child is good at today. They don't show what a child is drawn to — or what they'd be good at with a teacher who had the time. A short check each term, free, on web, app or USSD, so interest counts too.
Built for the 2023 competency-based curriculum: every learner's direction, term over term — and five practice questions a day to move it.
Every subject's journey across the terms — improving, steady or slipping — with class position movement and summaries written in plain language a parent can actually use.
Numeracy for Grades 4–9 that adapts to each learner: three in a row right and the questions get harder; a slip and the skill comes back tomorrow.
Most schools are up and running the same day.

Sign up Zambian schools with your own referral link or from our national directory of 9,500+ schools. Every school you sign is credited to you.
Get 20% on a school's pay-as-you-go spend and 30% on Premium subscriptions — paid for 12 months per school you onboard.

Four portals in one Android app — free to download, built for the phones people actually carry.
Parent, Student, Teacher and School admin. Sign in once and land straight on the dashboard for your role — no hunting for the right page.
Separate builds for newer and older Android devices, so it stays a small download and runs on modest hardware — not just on the latest handset.
Parents with a smartphone use the app. Everyone else dials *388*11# and gets the same information. Nobody is left out.
Parents dial *388*11# to check fees, exam results and attendance on any phone. No internet, no app, no data bundle. Uniquely built for Zambia.
In full, with the numbers. No school should discover a price after it has moved its records in.
No card. No time limit. Not a trial.
Only these. Nothing else is metered.
You are never billed by surprise. There is no invoice and no card on file — you top up first, and the system simply asks you to top up when a balance runs out. If you never top up, you keep the free platform and nothing stops working except the parts above.
ZamSkools is an all-in-one school management system built specifically for Zambian schools by Ontech Solutions. It runs fees, results, attendance, timetables, report cards and parent communication from one platform, accessible by web, Android app and USSD.
Yes, it is free to start with no credit card and no time limit. The whole platform — pupils, results, attendance, fees, timetables, HR and payroll — plus all five portals and USSD access is free for up to 100 pupils. Only report cards, SMS to parents and pupils beyond the first 100 are charged.
Report cards cost K1.00 (ZMW) each, so a class of 40 costs K40.00. SMS to parents cost K0.30 each, with your first 100 SMS free. Pupils beyond the free 100-pupil cap cost K2.00 per extra pupil. A Premium plan with unlimited pupils, report cards and SMS is priced per school — you ask for a quote.
SMS to parents cost K0.30 (ZMW) each, and every school gets its first 100 SMS free on signup. Higher volumes may be priced in brackets shown on the pricing section.
You get 100 free SMS credits when you sign up.

Yes. You enter exam marks once and ZamSkools computes grades and analysis and generates report cards, keeping continuous assessment and exam marks apart, drawing a performance chart for every pupil, and showing class position and attendance. There are five level-aware formats and three layout styles carrying your school's logo, motto and colours.
It supports Early Childhood, Lower Primary, Upper Primary, Junior Secondary and Senior Secondary, each with the right subjects and grading scale — for example a Grade 9 card shows Divisions 1–4 and a best-six aggregate, while a nursery card does not.
Both. Every learner gets a Growth Profile — each subject's direction term over term, in plain language — visible to parents, teachers and the pupil, with an optional trend column on the report card. Learners also get Daily Practice: five adaptive numeracy questions a day (Grades 4–9) on the app, the web or USSD, pitched from their real marks, with streaks that appear on their growth profile.
Registration is free and takes three steps: pick your school from the national directory of 9,500+ Zambian schools (name, province and district auto-fill), set up classes, subjects and students with the guided setup wizard (bulk import available), then go live. Most schools are running the same day.

No. There is no invoice and no card on file. You top up credits in advance and the system asks you to top up when a balance runs out. If you never top up you keep the free platform and only report cards, SMS and pupils beyond 100 stop working.
