Shule
Shule is the Africa-first School Information System — covering every administrative and academic function, from M-Pesa fee collection and CBC timetabling to KCSIE safeguarding compliance and consent-gated live video classes with a per-viewer watermark.
Key Features
Purpose-built for African school systems — CBC-aligned, M-Pesa native, KCSIE compliant, and built to run at county scale.
African-First Fee Collection
M-Pesa STK Push, Flutterwave, and bank transfer payment collection. Automated receipts by SMS and email. Fee structure builder supports instalment plans, sibling discounts, and bursary deductions. KRA PIN and VAT fields are captured for institutional invoicing; eTIMS submission is supplied by the operator's accounting stack.
CBC-Aligned Timetabling
