How this playbook changes in Lagos
managing school transport in Lagos changes where the local calendar, boards, and fee practice differ from a generic weekday school. A route without a fee head is a message thread with vehicles. Assign the route to the student and bill the named head.
September-ish starts are common; public holidays and election days belong on the holiday master. Nigerian Naira term fees; generator and development levies should be named heads, not informal cash. WAEC/NECO history and British transfers both arrive; placement exams are a school policy, not a software miracle. WAEC and NECO entries are school-operated; the product stores marks the school reports, it does not file the board portal.
Island and mainland routes are slow and billed; the levy sits with tuition. Some older mission and private schools board. Residential roll is separate from day attendance. Lagos private schools prepare students for WAEC and NECO while a growing international tier runs British or IB programmes. The Lagos State Ministry of Education is the local authority families and proprietors actually deal with, even when the campus markets a foreign curriculum. Fees are in Nigerian Naira, often in termly waves that coincide with fuel and generator costs. A fee module that cannot show a defaulter view by class will not survive a Lagos term.
