Why report card season eats so many hours
In a typical Nigerian secondary school, a class teacher with 35 students manually transcribes assessment scores from a notebook into a Word template, runs the totals on a calculator, writes a personalised comment, prints, hand-signs, and either calls parents to collect them or hands them out at PTA. Multiply that by every class teacher and the term ends with three weeks of overtime.
Edunile replaces every step of that pipeline. Teachers enter assessment scores during the term in a structured grade-entry interface (or upload them in bulk from a spreadsheet). At the end of term, you click "Generate Reports" and every student’s report card is built from the data already in the system — totals, averages, positions in class, automatic letter grades, and pre-filled remark fields.
Approval workflow that matches how schools actually work
In real schools, a class teacher writes the comment, the head teacher reviews, the principal signs off, and the bursar checks the fee status before release. Edunile models that exactly. Each report card moves through Class Teacher → Head of Academics → Principal as a sequential approval chain. The principal can approve in bulk by class, by arm, or for the whole school in one action — but each individual approval is logged in the audit trail.
Reports cannot be released to parents until the workflow is complete. The system also blocks release for students whose fees are overdue, if you enable that policy.
Delivery via WhatsApp, email, or printable batch
Once approved, reports go out the way your parents prefer. WhatsApp delivers the PDF directly, with a short message template that includes the student’s position and overall grade. Email delivers a styled message with the PDF attached. For schools that still hand out paper copies, Edunile produces a print-ready batch PDF organised by class.
Every delivery is tracked. You can see at a glance which parents have received and viewed reports, and which still need a follow-up.
Built for Nigerian curricula
Edunile supports the WAEC/NECO grading scale and CGPA-style cumulative views, the standard Nigerian three-term structure, and the conventional layout that parents and inspectors expect (continuous assessment + exam = total, with positions, averages, behavioural ratings, and remarks). Schools can also customise grading boundaries per arm if you run different scales for primary and secondary.
