Case study

GestionEcole

School management software built for schools in Senegal, installed or online.

The context

In many schools, enrolments, monthly payments and grades are still tracked in notebooks and spreadsheets. Report cards take whole evenings, and finding who paid which month means digging.

The network does not always keep up: software that only works online stops with the connection. And some schools teach in Arabic as much as in French.
