Schools

For: directors (add and archive), head teachers (edit their own school), everyone (read)

Schools in the menu lists the schools of your organization. Each school has a School type (Pre-primary, Primary or Secondary), a name in English and Kiswahili, a government Registration number, optionally a NECTA centre number, and a Language of instruction. Open a school to see its tabs Details, Class levels and Streams.

Add a school (directors)

1. Choose Add school.
2. Choose the School type. It cannot be changed later.
3. Enter the name in at least one language, the Registration number and, for secondary schools, the NECTA centre number if there is one.
4. Choose the Language of instruction and Save.

The new school gets its class levels from a template for its type (for example Standard I–VII for a primary school). You can adjust them afterwards, see Class levels and streams. Every registration number can only be used once in your organization.

Edit the details

Open the school, tab Details, change the fields and choose Save. Directors can edit every school, head teachers their own.

Archive a school (directors)

Schools are never deleted, so that their history stays available. When a school closes, open it and choose Archive school. An archived school stays readable but is no longer offered for new streams. To see archived schools in the list, switch on Show archived schools.
