Schools handle students, parents, fees, staff, and reports
A school is essentially five businesses: admissions, fees, payroll, academics, and parent communications. Without one platform, each one runs on different software and the data never reconciles.
Fee collection is a queue
Parents queue at the bursary on the first day of term. The bursary clerks reconcile cash and bank deposits for the next two weeks. Half of last term's fees are still uncollected.
Marks, attendance, and reports drift
Teachers keep marks in red books. Reports are typed up the night before parents' day. Attendance is on a clipboard. None of it is searchable, none of it is consolidated.
Staff payroll is its own crisis
Teaching staff and non-teaching staff have different scales. NSSF, PAYE, NHIF apply. The bursar calculates payroll on Excel monthly, and accuracy depends on whoever's at the keyboard.
From admission to graduation — one school management system
Parents pay fees from their phones
Tawala generates fee bills per student per term. Parents pay via M-Pesa, Tigo Pesa, or Airtel Money — receipt is auto-emailed/SMSed and posted to the student account in seconds.
Teachers record everything on mobile
Attendance, marks, behavior notes, parent communications — all from a teacher's phone. Reports are generated in seconds, not the night before parents' day.
Admin runs on autopilot
Payroll for teaching and non-teaching staff with NSSF/PAYE/NHIF auto-calculated. Admissions track from inquiry to enrollment. Parent communications go via SMS, email, or WhatsApp.
Built for Tanzanian schools — primary, secondary, and tertiary
Tawala runs in primary schools in Arusha, secondary schools in Mbeya, and colleges in Dar es Salaam. Fees in TZS, payroll with NSSF/PAYE/NHIF, MoEST-aligned report cards.
Mobile-money fee collection means parents pay from anywhere in the country. Bursars stop chasing; the system collects.
