What it handles
Fees and billing
One fee grid per class per term. Preview a whole term’s billing before you issue a single invoice.
Payments
Cash, MoMo, bank transfer and cheque at the desk, allocated to the fee lines they were meant for.
Feeding
A separate meal ledger with its own rates, plans and daily register — kept out of tuition.
Attendance
A register a class teacher can mark in well under a minute, and that keeps working if the signal drops once the class list has loaded.
Marks and reports
Continuous assessment and exams, GES-style grading, and printable terminal report cards.
Oversight
Every financial and academic change recorded, with who did it and when.
Two ideas worth knowing before you start
Almost every question a new school asks comes back to one of these.Exactly one term is current at a time

Billing, attendance and marks all default to the current term. Setting a new term as current is the single action that moves the whole school forward — see Academic year and terms.
An issued invoice never changes
An issued invoice never changes
Once a bill is issued, its total is fixed. To reduce what a family owes you issue a credit note; to give money back you issue a refund. Both are recorded as separate, auditable events rather than edits — see Corrections, credit notes and refunds.
Where to start
If your school is new to EduControl, work through the guides in order — they follow the shape of a term, from setting the school up to closing it out.How a term works
The whole cycle on one page, so you can see what comes before what.
Some features described elsewhere are not yet available: parents cannot sign in (the portal is the pupil’s), online MoMo checkout is not open, and EduControl does not send SMS or email. Fee reminders are still made by the office.
