Overview

What it is

A complete school ERP. Admissions, classes, attendance, timetables, fee collection, exams and report cards in a single system, with tailored views for administrators, teachers, students and parents.

The problem

Why it was needed

Records lived in paper registers and disconnected spreadsheets. Fees were hard to reconcile, report cards took weeks and parents had no visibility.

Architecture

How It Fits Together

  1. Web apptemplates + DRF API
  2. Django appsstudents, fees, exams
  3. Permissionsrole-based access

  6. Storagedocuments and photos

Each school function is its own Django app with a shared permission layer, so modules can grow without tangling.
