School Management

SomaSmart — Smart School Management

Registration, the daily register, CBC marks, report cards and school fees — in one place, on the phones and laptops your staff already have. Built for Kenyan schools and the CBC.

The Problem

Schools Deserve Better Than Paper Registers and Manual Grade Books

Kenyan schools — from primaries to secondaries — still rely on paper attendance registers, handwritten grade books, and manual fee tracking. Teachers spend hours compiling results. Parents get report cards weeks late. School administrators have no real-time picture of fee collection or academic performance. With the shift to CBC, schools need a digital partner, not more paperwork.
