What EduX runs in your school
The Gambia runs an unusually mixed school system for its size: fully private schools, grant-aided schools with partial public funding, and madrassahs following an Arabic-medium programme, often within a few kilometres of each other. Each has a different funding mix and a different reporting obligation.
Software written for one model does not fit the others. EduX lets each school define its own fee structure, its own grading scale and its own report card, and prints documents in the language of instruction — so a grant-aided school and a madrassah can run the same system without either bending to the other's shape.

How schools in The Gambia are examined
The Gambia sits within the West African Examinations Council (WAEC) system, with the GABECE and WASSCE as the main public examinations.
EduX records marks under whichever grading scale your school uses and prints your own report cards. It does not submit entries to WAEC and does not replace any ministry system.
We serve schools across The Gambia
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 on the coast or up-river, all you need is a basic connection.
Six reasons EduX fits The Gambia specifically
- Fits private, grant-aided and madrassah schools — Each school sets its own fee structure, grading scale and report card rather than adopting one fixed model.
- Documents in the language of instruction — Report cards and receipts print in English or Arabic, with full right-to-left support where needed.
- One pupil record — Tuition, transport and meals sit on the same account, so the parent gets one balance.
- Fees in dalasi with receipts — Payments post to the pupil account with a numbered receipt.
- No server in the school — No server, no UPS and no resident technician — hosting and backups are ours.
- Remote setup — Activation, migration from your current files and staff training all happen remotely.
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.
- Gambia setup — Classes and streams, the fee structure in dalasi, your receipt format, and your grading scale and report card layout in your language of instruction.
- 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 Gambian schools

Yes. The grading scale, class names and report card layout are set per school, and documents print in English or Arabic with full right-to-left support.
Does it work for grant-aided schools?
Yes — each school defines its own fee structure, whatever its funding mix.

No, nothing is installed on site.
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.

Yes, an app for parents and pupils on iOS and Android, plus the web portal for administration and teachers.
