Built in Ghana for Ghanaian schools

Stop chasing fees.Stop writing report cards by hand.

Nkoso is simple enough for every teacher, and it fits the way your school already runs. We come to your school, see how you work, and set it up for you.

Based in Sefwi Wiawso, Western North

Nkoso on a parent's phone: paying school fees by MoMo. The money goes straight to the school's own account.

What Nkoso fixes

Four jobs that eat a school's time every term, and what Nkoso does instead.

  • “Chasing parents for fees”

    Parents pay by MoMo from their phone and get an SMS receipt at once. You see who still owes, class by class.

  • “Writing report cards by hand”

    Teachers type the scores. Nkoso works out grades and positions, the head approves, and every report card is ready to print or read on the parent's phone.

  • “Money that doesn't add up”

    Every payment gets a receipt number. Every change is recorded with who made it and when, so no one can quietly change a figure.

  • “Registers that get lost”

    Teachers mark the register on their phone in a minute. It's saved even with no network and sent when the network is back.

The real app, on a phone

These are Nkoso's own screens, with sample pupils. Nothing to install: it opens in the phone's browser.

  • Nkoso's parent page: a pupil's card, the fees still to pay with a Pay with MoMo button, and the next day's lessons.

    The parent's phone

    Each child's fees, today's register, lessons and the school's notices.

  • Nkoso's register on a teacher's phone: everyone present, with Late and Absent buttons for each pupil and the week's marks.

    The morning register

    Everyone starts present. The teacher taps only who's late or absent.

  • Nkoso's report card on a parent's phone: average, position in class, attendance and each subject's score.

    The report card

    Average, position and every subject, once the head approves it.

Questions schools ask

What happens when the network goes off?

Nkoso keeps working. Payments, registers and scores are saved on the phone and sent when the network is back. Nothing is lost.

And when the lights go off?

Nkoso runs on your phones, so it keeps going on their batteries. Your records are kept safely online, not on one computer in the office, so a power cut can't lose them.

Is our school's information safe?

Your records are kept apart from every other school's. Each person sees only what their job needs, a teacher only their own classes, and parents only their own children. Staff sign in with a password and a code sent to their phone. The proprietor can download all the school's records at any time.

Is training included?

Yes. We set up your school and train your staff in person at the school. After that we're one WhatsApp message away.

Do we need computers?

No. Nkoso works on any Android phone, and on a computer too if you have one. To print receipts, report cards and ID cards you need a printer.

How much does it cost?

GH₵ 5 per pupil per term, SMS to parents included.

Founder, Strive Digital Solutions · Former teacher

Before I wrote software, I was a teacher. I started teaching at a school in Sefwi Boako straight after senior high, did my teaching internship at a school in Kumasi, and later taught programming as a teaching assistant at USTED.

So I know what a school day looks like from the inside: the registers, the scores, the fees, the end-of-term rush. I built Nkoso to take that paperwork off your staff. I'll set it up at your school and train your teachers myself.
