class promotions and certificate exports on one student record Private school clusters in Kampala, Entebbe, and Jinja Private, independent, and international schools in Uganda - especially around Kampala, Entebbe, and Jinja - often run UNEB, Cambridge, IB pathways with English instruction with local language family communication. Coordinators juggle January and September enrolment surges while finance teams track term billing with mobile-money receipt expectations. Ugandan families increasingly expect portal access for fee receipts, attendance summaries, and UNEB exam seasons with controlled grade publish - not phone calls to the front office. Schoolyi connects admissions, roster, fees, exams, and family communication on one academic calendar so class promotions and certificate exports on one student record does not live in disconnected spreadsheets. Whether you operate a single campus or a growing group, Schoolyi gives Ugandan school teams modular rollout: start with admissions, student records, and fees, then switch on timetable, exams, and HR when staff are ready.
