making school software in Abuja: practical steps on one student record and one academic calendar, then a Schoolyi demo with your awkward case.
making school software in Abuja
Teams that “make school software” usually underestimate the holiday master, mid-year joiners, two-guardian contacts, and publish gates.
A CRUD app for students is not a school system. The system is the handoff: applicant becomes roster row becomes fee account becomes attendance denominator. Abuja still has to do this against WAEC, NECO, FCT, IGCSE. Public holidays and FCT circulars belong on the holiday master. Named facts: WAEC, NECO, FCT, Nigerian Naira.
Nigerian Naira term fees; diplomatic concessions should be named. Named facts: WAEC, NECO, FCT, Nigerian Naira. Named owners still have to keep the holiday master, the roster, and the family view aligned in this place, because a brochure paragraph will not survive the first mid-year joiner or the first board week.
- Hard-coding Monday–Friday.
- One email field per family.
- Claiming a general ledger you did not build.
Model working days, not weekdays
Attendance percentages lie without an official exception calendar.
