The Platform

Every part of running a school, mapped to a real module.

Nothing below is a roadmap slide. Every module on this page runs inside EduCore today, grouped the way a school actually uses them — not the way a sales deck would organize them.

Academics & Assessment

The academic year, structured once, used everywhere.

Teachers & Admins

Academics

Subjects, classes and streams, the academic calendar, and teacher allocation, in one connected structure instead of a folder of spreadsheets rebuilt every term.

  • Subjects, classes, and streams setup
  • Academic calendar (years & terms)
  • Timetable and teacher allocation
  • Automated term rollover
  • Termly newsletters, reviewed before sending
Teachers & Academic Heads

Exams & Grading

CATs, exams, and marks entry, graded against numeric or CBC competency-based scales set per school, grade, or class — not forced into one model.

  • CAT and exam scheduling
  • Marks entry per exam
  • Configurable grading scales (numeric or CBC)
Teachers, Students & Parents

Homework

Assignments with due dates, tracked submissions, and grading, so homework isn't lost between a notebook and a parent WhatsApp group.

  • Assignment creation by class/subject
  • Submission tracking
  • Grading workflow
Principals

Teacher Performance

A dedicated record of teacher performance, kept alongside the academic data it's actually based on, not in a separate offline process.

  • Structured performance tracking per teacher
Admissions & People

Every person in the school, one record each.

Admissions Officers

Admissions

Every applicant tracked from inquiry to enrollment in one pipeline, with a status attached to each one — not a paper register someone forgets to update.

  • Per-applicant status tracking
  • Individual applicant records
Admins & Teachers

Students

One record per learner — the same student appears the same way whether you're looking at academics, attendance, health, or fees.

  • Central student directory
  • Linked academic, health, and finance records
Admins & HR

Staff

A staff directory that's the single place roles and records are managed, tied into the same permissions Settings controls for the rest of the platform.

  • Staff directory
  • Roles & permissions, managed centrally
Parents

Parents & Portal

A parents directory on the school side, linked to each guardian's children, plus a separate parent login where families see their own child's fees, attendance, and grades directly.

  • Parent accounts linked to children
  • Dedicated parent portal login
  • Fees, attendance, and grades visible to parents
Day-to-Day Operations & Student Care

The parts of school life that don’t stop at the classroom door.

Teachers & Admins

Attendance & Biometrics

Attendance captured by biometric check-in and fed straight into records and parent notifications, or entered by stream when a device isn't in play.

  • Biometric check-in
  • Stream-based attendance register
  • Automatic parent notification
Boarding Staff

Boarding

House and dormitory structure, room and bed allocation, roll call, incidents, and transfers — for schools that run boarding, not bolted on for the ones that don't.

  • Dormitory, room & bed structure and allocation
  • Roll call
  • Boarding incidents & transfers
  • Boarding-specific reports
School Nurses

Health & Clinic

Clinic, sick bay, medication, and medical records in one place, with referrals and emergencies tracked the same way.

  • Sick bay & medication logs
  • Medical records & referrals
  • Emergency tracking
  • Clinic inventory & reports
Deans & Principals

Discipline & Welfare

Incidents, cases, and welfare concerns tracked together, with a separate, permission-gated safeguarding record for the cases that need it.

  • Incident & case tracking
  • Welfare concerns
  • Permission-gated safeguarding records
Transport Coordinators

Transport

Routes, vehicles, and stops, with each student's pickup point and vehicle assignment tracked against them.

  • Route, vehicle & stop management
  • Per-student transport assignment
Librarians & Students

Library

Catalogue, loans, reservations, shelving, and fines, run the way a school library actually operates rather than a generic inventory list.

  • Catalogue & loans
  • Reservations & shelving
  • Fines tracking
Finance & Resources

Money and materials, reconciled instead of re-keyed.

More on fees & M-Pesa reconciliation
Finance Teams

Finance & Fees

Fee structures, invoicing, and per-student accounts, reconciled against M-Pesa payments instead of matched by hand against a paper ledger.

  • Fee structures & invoicing
  • Per-student account balances
  • M-Pesa payment reconciliation
Finance & HR

Payroll

Salary structures and monthly payroll runs, with NSSF, SHIF, Housing Levy, and PAYE computed against current Kenyan statutory rates.

  • Salary structure setup
  • Monthly payroll runs
  • Kenyan statutory deductions computed automatically
Procurement Officers

Inventory & Procurement

Stock, assets, and suppliers, connected to a requisition-to-payment procurement chain instead of spreadsheets that never reconcile with each other.

  • Stock & asset tracking
  • Supplier records
  • Procurement & supplier invoices
Communication & Reporting

Keeping everyone in the loop, and knowing what happened after.

Teachers & Parents

EduCore Connect

Structured, per-student messages from a class teacher to that student's parents — a request, an academic note, an attendance flag — not an open group chat. Parents read, acknowledge, and reply on the thread; only the teacher who raised it can mark it resolved.

  • Per-student teacher-to-parent items
  • Read receipts, acknowledge & reply
  • Teacher-only resolution
Admins & Teachers

Communication

Compose and send updates over WhatsApp and SMS from the same place, with message history and reusable templates instead of an ad hoc phone.

  • WhatsApp & SMS composing
  • Message templates
  • Sent-message history
Teachers & Parents

Parent-Teacher Meetings

Parent-teacher meetings scheduled and tracked in the platform, not arranged over a chain of phone calls.

  • Meeting scheduling
Principals & Owners

Reports & Analytics

Management reports exportable to Excel or PDF, pulled from the same live data as every other module — not a manually compiled month-end summary.

  • Management reporting
  • Excel/PDF export
Multi-Campus, Integrations & AI

What connects EduCore to the rest of how a school runs.

How data stays isolated between schools
School Groups

Campuses

For school groups running more than one campus: cross-campus visibility, shared group branding, and group-level API access, alongside each campus's own data isolation.

  • Cross-campus overview
  • Group branding
  • Group-level API keys
Admins & Finance

Integrations

M-Pesa STK push for parent payments, and a NEMIS/KEMIS bulk-upload file generator — Kenya's NEMIS has no public submission API, so EduCore prepares the ministry-format file for you to upload yourself, then tracks that it's done.

  • M-Pesa STK push payment prompts
  • NEMIS/KEMIS bulk-upload file generation
School Owners & Principals

Educore AI

Ask a question about your school's own data and get a grounded answer, alongside the AI features covered in more depth on the AI & Automation page.

  • Ask-a-question assistant grounded in school data
  • Available to School Owner and Principal roles
Admins

Administration & Controls

Roles and permissions, an audit log, branding, and biometric device management — the controls that sit underneath every module above.

  • Roles & permissions
  • Audit log
  • School branding
  • Biometric device management
