Teachers, classes and pupils

A school is its people. Add your teaching staff and see the HR side of them, create your classes, and put a real pupil on the roll on camera — form, save, pupil number and all. Then open a pupil's own record, and see how a whole class is promoted at the end of the year.

What your school teaches

Set up the subjects, the pathways a pupil can take, and the stream lists every class inherits. Then build the week: a full class timetable with every period, its subject and its teacher — plus where exams are created, and where you see the homework your teachers have set.

Attendance, marks and report cards

The school day's paper trail, without the paper. Mark a class register on camera, enter a set of results in the gradebook, then watch a finished Zambian report card come out the other end — divisions, best-six aggregate and teacher comments — ready to print or send.

Fees, books and parents

The money side, end to end. Build your fee structure, collect a fee at the office, send a Mobile Money payment prompt to a parent's phone, and see it all land in the books — then the parent side: SMS to every guardian, sending results home, topping up SMS credits, and the USSD menus parents dial for free.
