Why Elimu Bora ERP

The school management system built
for how Kenyan schools actually work

Not a Western system retrofitted for Kenya. Built from the ground up for CBC, M-Pesa, and the Kenyan school calendar.

CBC & 8-4-4 native

Grade bands, grading scales, and report card formats designed for both curricula. Switch or run both in a single installation.

Integrated Payments

STK Push prompts parents directly on their phones. C2B payments update invoices automatically. Zero manual reconciliation.

Role-aware by design

Principals, teachers, admins, and parents each see exactly what they need. 8 roles, 26 access policies, one platform.

Modules

Everything Your School Needs
In One Place

No 4-quires. No spring files. No juggling different apps. No duplicate data. Every module in our school management system works together so your team always has the full picture.

User & Identity Management Icon

User & Identity Management

Managing who can see what should not require a spreadsheet. Elimu Bora gives every staff member, teacher, guardian, and student the right level of access from day one, with no overlap and no confusion.

✓ Separate profiles for teachers, admin staff, guardians, and students
✓ Role-based access: teachers see their classes, principals see everything
✓ Link guardians to multiple children with a single account
✓ Student profiles capture health records, admission history, and curriculum assignment
✓ Staff onboarding and offboarding handled without disrupting anyone else's access
Curriculum & Structure Icon

Curriculum & Structure

Grade levels, streams, subjects, pathways: the building blocks of your school. Define them once in Elimu Bora and every other module, attendance, grades, timetables, fees, automatically falls into place.

✓ Supports CBC and 8-4-4 curriculum structures side by side
✓ Define grade levels, streams, and subjects to match your school exactly
✓ Group subjects into pathways for CBC strand management
✓ Assign class teachers to streams, reflected everywhere automatically

Academic Years & Terms Icon

Academic Years & Terms

The school calendar drives everything: fee cycles, assessments, attendance, and reports. Elimu Bora keeps your academic year and term structure in sync, so the right things happen at the right time, every term.

✓ Create academic years and terms that match your school calendar
✓ Only one active term at a time, with no data bleeding between terms
✓ Activating a new term automatically triggers recurring fee invoices

Paper registers get lost. WhatsApp takes too long. With Elimu Bora, attendance is marked digitally in seconds and parents are notified the moment their child is absent.

✓ Digital registers for every class and session, morning and afternoon
✓ Mark Present, Late, or Absent in under a minute per class
✓ Parents receive an automatic alert the moment their child is marked absent or late
✓ Built-in follow-up workflow: log the reason, attach a medical note, close the case
✓ Every change is recorded: who marked it, when, and what was changed
Assessments & Report Cards Icon

Assessments & Report Cards

Stop printing grade sheets and chasing teachers for marks. Elimu Bora manages your full assessment cycle from scheduling through grade entry to published report cards, for both CBC and 8-4-4.

✓ Schedule assessments for a class, a stream, or the whole school
✓ Teachers enter grades directly with no paper collection and no manual tallying
✓ Scores automatically convert to percentages and grade bands
✓ Report cards generated in seconds, complete with class rankings and remarks
✓ Published grades are locked with no accidental edits after parents have seen results
Timetable & Lessons Icon

Timetable & Lessons

Timetable changes cause chaos when they're managed on paper. Elimu Bora lets teachers build and update their weekly schedule digitally so the right class, subject, and teacher are always in the right place.

✓ Each teacher builds their own weekly timetable within their assigned streams
✓ Supports recurring lesson schedules: set once, runs for the term
✓ Timetables have validity windows and old schedules are preserved for reference
✓ Teachers see their week at a glance on their dashboard calendar
✓ Lesson plans linked to subjects and grade streams for full academic context
Events Management Icon

Events Management

School notices lost in group chats. Parents who missed the meeting. Staff who did not get the memo. Elimu Bora gives you a centralised events calendar that notifies every relevant person automatically.

✓ Create events for the whole school, a specific class, or individual students
✓ Attach assessments, fee reminders, or documents directly to events
✓ Set up recurring events once: weekly assemblies, monthly meetings, term calendars
✓ Everyone on the invite list receives an automatic notification at the right time
✓ One shared calendar visible to principals, teachers, parents, and students
Financial Management Icon

Financial Management

End the term-by-term scramble for school fees. Elimu Bora generates invoices automatically, accepts M-Pesa payments directly, and keeps every parent updated so your bursar can focus on reconciliation, not reminders.

✓ Parents pay via M-Pesa STK Push directly from their phone with no bank queues
✓ Student wallet for daily canteen and activity debits, with guardian top-up

Inventory & Procurement Icon

Inventory & Procurement

Stock disappears, orders get duplicated, and nobody knows what was bought last term. Elimu Bora gives your procurement team a single record for every item from purchase order to shelf to issue.

✓ Full product catalogue with categories, units of measure, and reorder levels
✓ Stock levels update in real time every time items come in or go out
✓ Raise and approve purchase orders before anything is bought
✓ Staff submit requisitions through the system with no verbal requests and no confusion
✓ Automatic low-stock alerts before you run out, not after
Sports & Games Icon

Sports & Games

Sport is part of a student's story, not an afterthought. Elimu Bora lets you manage house competitions, school teams, and inter-school fixtures in the same platform where you track grades and attendance, building a complete student profile.

✓ Track individual student participation in games, tournaments, and external events

✓ Schedule regular meetings linked to the school timetable
✓ Log club activities and attendance at each session
✓ Club participation recorded on each student's co-curricular profile

Activity Log Icon

Activity Log

When something changes in your school system, you need to know what changed, who changed it, and when. Elimu Bora's activity log gives principals and administrators a full, tamper-proof audit trail across the entire platform.

✓ Every action, grade edits, payment records, attendance changes, is logged automatically
✓ See exactly which staff member made each change and at what time
✓ Filter the log by module, user, or date range for quick investigations

Testimonials

Trusted by Schools
Across Kenya

Here's what school leaders say after their first term on Elimu Bora ERP.

Githiga Boys High School
"Before Elimu Bora ERP, our bursar was spending two days every month just reconciling fee payments. Now it takes a few hours and everything ties back to M-Pesa automatically."

Mr. K. Maina

Principal, Githiga Boys High School

Kiambu Girls Secondary School
"The attendance module alone has transformed how we run mornings. Teachers mark registers on their phones and I can see the full school picture before assembly ends. Parents know instantly."

Mrs. A. Wanjiru

Deputy Principal, Kiambu Girls Secondary School

Nairobi Academy
"We switched from a system built for UK schools. The difference is night and day — CBC grading, M-Pesa, the Kenyan calendar. It just works the way our school actually works."

Mr. J. Otieno

Director of Academics, Nairobi Academy
