What EduX runs in your school
Private schools in Addis Ababa and the regional capitals run large classes and collect most fees in cash at the office. The administrative load that creates — a register called on paper, a fee ledger written by hand, report cards assembled from teachers' notebooks — is heavy enough that schools hire staff specifically to move numbers between books.
Power and connectivity make it worse for any system installed on site: a server needs a UPS, a generator and someone to maintain it, and it stops when the electricity does. EduX holds nothing in the school. An outage means the office is offline for as long as it lasts, not that a term of records is at risk.

How Ethiopian schools are examined
Ethiopia's school leaving examinations are administered nationally, and private schools in Addis Ababa also run international programmes alongside the national curriculum.
EduX records marks under whichever grading scale your school uses and prints your report cards. It does not submit entries to the national examinations body and does not replace any ministry system.
We serve schools across Ethiopia
Setup, training and data migration are done entirely remotely, so where your school is makes no difference to the timeline or the cost.
Whether the school is in Addis Ababa or a regional capital, all you need is a basic internet connection.
Six reasons EduX fits Ethiopia specifically
- Nothing to lose to a power cut — There is no server in the school, so records are not held on a machine that stops when the electricity does.
- Attendance built for large classes — A full class registers in seconds from a phone or by barcode, which matters when a section carries seventy pupils.
- Cash collection with a receipt — Fees paid at the office post to the student ledger with a numbered receipt, instead of a handwritten cash book reconciled later.
- Light on bandwidth — The interface is deliberately light and works on a modest connection or a phone's mobile data.
- One record per pupil — Tuition, transport and meals sit on the same account, so a parent's question about the balance has one answer.
- Remote setup — Activation, migration from your current Excel files and staff training all happen remotely, with no site visit to pay for.
How we start with your school
- Remote demo — A short online or WhatsApp session showing the system against your school's own situation — no visit, no commitment.
- We migrate your data — We take your existing Excel files or registers — pupils, fees, staff — and migrate them ourselves.
- Ethiopia setup — Grades and sections, the fee structure in birr, your receipt format, and your grading scale and report card layout.
- Staff training — Remote training for administration, the bursar's office and teachers, with recordings to refer back to when staff change.
- Go live — The school runs on the system, with support over WhatsApp through the term.
Questions from Ethiopian schools
Do we need a server or an IT technician in the school?
No. The system is fully cloud-based and opens in a browser on any device. There is no server, no UPS and no manual backup — hosting, updates and backups are our responsibility.
Can it handle semester and termly fee cycles rather than one annual fee?
Yes. Fees are structured per class and per term in ETB, with instalment plans, sibling discounts and a live arrears list that updates as payments are posted.
Can we record mobile money and cash payments?
Yes. A payment is logged against the student's account with its method — cash, bank transfer or mobile money — and a numbered receipt is issued. The system records the payment; it does not act as the mobile money service itself.
What happens during a power cut?
Nothing runs on a server inside the school, so a power cut does not stop or endanger your records — it only means the office is offline until power or a phone connection returns. Staff can also open the system from a phone on mobile data.
Will it work on a weak connection?
Yes. The interface is light and designed for limited bandwidth, and can be opened from a phone on mobile data.
Does it support more than one campus?
Yes. All branches run from a single account, with separate reporting per branch and a consolidated report for the directors.
How long does setup take?
Setup, training and data migration are done remotely and begin as soon as we receive your school's data — there is no site visit.
Is there a mobile app for parents?
Yes, an app for parents and pupils on iOS and Android, plus the web portal for administration and teachers.
Who owns the school's data?
The school owns its data in full and can export it at any time in a usable format.
