School management, built in Uganda

Know when your child reaches school. And when they don't.

Schools running on EduPulse today

We started with a small group of schools and built alongside them. These are the head teachers whose questions shaped the system.

    Why we built it

    Most school systems record what happened. Parents want to know while it's happening.

    These are the questions head teachers and parents keep asking. Each one has an answer built into EduPulse.

    "Was he even at school today?"

    The gate and the class register both update the parent's phone. Absences are visible the same morning.

    "Nobody told me she was sick."

    Nurses log vitals, and the parent decides on hospital transfer from their phone. The decision is on record.

    "This fee slip looks fake."

    Parents send proof straight to the bursar. Receipts carry the school logo, signatures and stamp. Nobody has to guess.

    "A boarder is missing."

    A night roll call marks anyone missing and alerts parents at once. Nobody finds out in the morning.

    "Where is the bus, and who is driving?"

    Parents see the vehicle, route, driver and timed drop-offs. No more calling the school.

    "Who is that person at the gate?"

    Visitors sign on a phone or tablet with name, plate number, purpose and signature. Every entry is searchable later.

    What makes EduPulse different

    The parts other school software leaves out

    Fees, marks and timetables are in there too. But these are why schools pick us.

    The gate tells parents. Automatically.

    A security officer with a phone becomes your attendance system. Scan the student's QR code or barcode, or pick them from the list, and the parent gets an SMS.

    • Entry and exit logged, including town passes and weekend leave
    • Gate passes: issue, approve or decline, print, and SMS the parent
    • Teachers' class roll call sits on top, so gate and classroom can be compared
    • Digital visitor book with touch signature, plate number and purpose, with printable reports
    • Student, teacher and parent ID cards printed in your school colours

    Sickbay records that parents can act on.

    When a child is unwell, the nurse records temperature, blood pressure, symptoms and treatment. If it needs a hospital, the parent is asked, on their phone, and chooses where the child goes.

    • Clinical log with vitals, assessment and medication given
    • Parent authorises hospital transfer and names the hospital they prefer
    • Urgent alert in the parent portal plus an SMS and email
    • Full history of who did what and when, for nurse, matron and parent
    • School-wide emergency activation for fire, medical outbreaks and similar incidents, with agency contacts saved

    Waiting for parent: authorise hospital transfer?

    Night roll call that catches a missing boarder the same night.

    Matrons and wardens go through the dormitory with a phone and mark each student. If someone is marked missing, an emergency incident opens and their parents are alerted straight away.

    • Four statuses: present, in sickbay, authorised leave, missing
    • Parents get an SMS, with a one-tap WhatsApp message ready to send
    • Clear one alert or all of them, with a record of who resolved it
    • Search past roll calls by date or dormitory and print an official report
    • Bed and room allocation for boarding admin

    Fees go straight to the school. Receipts nobody can fake.

    EduPulse never holds your money. Parents pay into the school's own bank or Mobile Money account, or upload proof for the bursar to verify. Every receipt carries the marks of a real one.

    • Your school logo, headteacher signature, bursar signature and official stamp on receipts and slips
    • A fees register the bursar can reconcile, plus fee discounts and expense tracking
    • Parents see their child's balance and every payment
    • Report cards and stationery lists in the same portal
    • Payroll for teachers and support staff

    Elections where the student's ID is the ballot.

    Run prefect and council elections inside EduPulse. Every student ID carries a QR code, and a vote is cast by scanning it.

    • Each student ID has its own QR code, so every voter is identified
    • Votes are cast through the parent, teacher or security officer portal
    • No paper ballots to print, count or lose

    Pocket money without the cash.

    In many Ugandan schools, pocket money still travels as notes in a bag. With the EduPulse wallet, parents top up their child's balance and the school keeps the record.

    • Parents top up their child's wallet from the parent portal
    • The balance stays on record with the school
    • Nothing to lose, and nothing to steal

    And a lot more in the same login

    One system for the whole compound, not seven apps stitched together

    Parents can link more than one

    Set how many parent accounts each child allows. Mum and Dad both follow the same child, and the system blocks extra claims once your limit is reached.

    Student enrolment

    A guided enrolment form captures the family, medical history, previous school and emergency contacts, and a tracker shows where each application stands.

    Transport

    Vehicle, route, driver profile and licence details, with timestamped drop-offs that parents can see.

    Marks and report cards

    Teachers enter marks on a phone. Term reports are generated to your school's format, with signatures.

    Bulk SMS that you control

    Buy SMS credits inside the system. Announcements, circulars and messages are logged so you can see what went out.

    Staff accountability

    Departments, permissions and a "who does what" view. A staff location audit shows where and when people log in.

    School calendar for every event

    Exams, parent meetings, staff meetings, sports days, school activities and holidays on one calendar. Upload a poster for an event, and the system warns you when two events clash.

    Your school's colours

    Logo, colours and stamp are set per school, so ID cards, receipts and portals look like yours, not ours.

    Library and computer lab

    Book catalogue and loans, plus computer lab records, run by the bursar or librarian.

    Also included: timetables, official letters, requirements checklists, staff and parent directories, a support chat, and developer API documentation for every role, if you want to build on top.

    Who uses it

    Every person on the compound gets their own screen

    Nobody wades through menus that aren't theirs. Log in and you see your work.
