How this playbook changes in Lagos
running parent-teacher meetings in Lagos changes where the local calendar, boards, and fee practice differ from a generic weekday school. The meeting fails when the teacher and the bursar describe different versions of the same child. Put the day on the shared calendar and open the same record.
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.
