Staffing, period grid, substitutes, and lesson planning

Teaching & timetable

Define who teaches what, build and publish timetables, handle substitutes, and plan lessons against the same calendar your exams and attendance use — so teachers spend time teaching, not chasing schedules.

Timetable chaos creates ripple effects across the whole school. Schoolyi connects teacher assignments, period grids, substitute coverage, and lesson planning in one workflow. Coordinators can auto-generate drafts, check feasibility, and publish confidently; teachers open one hub for their classes, materials, and weekly plans.
