Operations infrastructure for Kano schools.

Built around how Kano schools run

The school market in Kano has grown rapidly over the last decade, particularly in Nasarawa GRA, Bompai, and the new neighbourhoods around the airport road. These schools serve families that increasingly expect the same digital service available in Lagos or Abuja, run in a way that fits the local calendar and the way parents pay.

edunile fits around your school rather than the other way round. Term dates, holidays and exam weeks are yours to set, so a longer Ramadan break is simply part of your calendar. The admin screens are in English, and parents get their bills and receipts on WhatsApp, the app they already use.

Calendar support for Northern academic patterns

Many Northern schools observe a longer Ramadan break than their Southern counterparts, and some structure their academic calendar with different term lengths. edunile’s academic calendar is fully configurable: define your own term start and end dates, holiday periods, and exam windows. Reports, fees, and timetables follow your calendar, not a generic template.

Fee bills parents can pay from their phone

At the start of term the bursar sends every family its bill on WhatsApp, with a link to pay online. The dashboard shows who has paid and who still owes, class by class, and one tap reminds everyone still owing. When a parent pays online, the payment lands against the right bill by itself, so nobody matches bank alerts to names at the end of the day.

Cash-friendly operations

Many Kano parents pay school fees in cash. edunile handles that: the bursar records a cash payment in seconds, the dashboard shows cash and online payments side by side, and one tap sends the parent a receipt on WhatsApp. Parents who would rather pay online can use card, bank transfer or USSD through Paystack.
