Everything a Uganda school needs, in one system

Running a school in Uganda means juggling admissions books, fees ledgers, attendance registers, mark sheets, and a phone full of parent WhatsApp groups. Our school management system replaces all of that with a single tool your bursar, DOS, class teachers, and headteacher can all use — accessible from a laptop in the office and phones in class.

  • Student admissions & personal records
  • Fees collection with Mobile Money and bank integration
  • Automatic fees SMS to parents (balance, deadline, receipt)
  • Attendance register on tablet or paper import
  • Marks entry, grading, and printable report cards
  • Timetable builder & teacher allocations
  • Library, transport, and boarding modules (optional)

Fees management that actually collects money

Late fees are the biggest pain point in Ugandan schools. Our system sends parents automatic SMS reminders before deadlines, on due dates, and after — with the exact balance and how to pay. Parents can pay via MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, bank deposit, or at the school. Every payment updates instantly, generates a receipt, and reduces the balance. Bursars produce term-end debtor lists in seconds instead of days.

Results, report cards, and academic tracking

Teachers enter marks on their phones or laptops per class and subject. The system calculates positions, averages, grades (per your grading scale), and prints professional report cards with the school logo, comments from class teacher and headteacher, and parent tear-off slips. Historical results per student are always available for reference.

Parent communication built in

Every fees payment, absence, low mark, or school announcement can trigger an SMS to the parent's phone — no smartphone required. Parents feel informed; schools cut down on angry PTA meetings. Optional parent portal lets tech-savvy parents log in to see fees, marks, and attendance any time.

For schools of every size in Uganda

We've deployed this for schools ranging from small nursery/primary schools with 200 pupils to large secondary schools with over 2,000 students. Pricing scales with student numbers, and the system handles multi-campus setups (main campus, branch, boarding annex) cleanly.

Training, support, and updates

Setup includes onboarding your admin team, bursar, and DOS, plus a one-day training session for teachers. We stay on WhatsApp during your first term for immediate support. Termly software updates and new features are included in your annual support fee.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does it cost to send SMS to parents?
SMS is a small per-message cost through a Ugandan SMS gateway (currently around UGX 25–35 per SMS). Bulk credits keep it affordable.
Can parents pay fees by Mobile Money?
Yes. We integrate MTN MoMo and Airtel Money so parents pay from their phones and the payment lands directly against the student's account.
Do teachers need training?
Yes — we do a one-day session for teachers. Most teachers are comfortable within a week.
Can I still use my current grading system?
Yes. We configure your exact grading scale, weighting, and report card layout.
Is the data safe?
Encrypted cloud storage with daily backups. Only authorized staff see specific modules.
How long does setup take?
A small school is live in 3 weeks. A large school with multiple campuses takes 6–8 weeks including data import and training.
