School Management System for Egypt

The core admin UI is English-primary; Arabic UI is available for teachers, accountants, and parents with right-to-left layout enabled per user. Report cards, fee receipts, parent-portal screens, and attendance notifications render correctly in RTL. Coverage of Arabic UI continues to expand release-by-release, and gaps are editable through the openeducat translation modules by your team or a local Egyptian Odoo partner. Mixed-language schools frequently operate with Arabic for teachers and parents while administrators use English.

The platform holds Thanaweya Amma subjects, weighting, and mock-exam scores per student across Grade 10 to Grade 12 general secondary. Configurable grading sheets support the Arabic, religion, second language, mathematics, sciences, and humanities-stream subject configurations. Predicted-vs-actual dashboards, subject-level trend analysis, and per-teacher signal help school leadership plan interventions. Consolidated grade sheets export in the format your local educational directorate (mudiriya) requests.

Yes. Fees invoice in EGP with installment plans matching the Egyptian academic year (typically two semesters, some schools quarterly). Fawry (kiosk and app), Vodafone Cash, Etisalat Cash, Orange Cash, and Paymob card gateway are all supported. Bank transfer through NBE, CIB, and Banque Misr reconciles alongside cash and cheque payments in the same fees ledger. Bursars stop matching Fawry statements against student names by hand.

You choose. Self-hosted on infrastructure inside Egypt (Telecom Egypt datacenters, Vodafone Egypt cloud, on-premise at the school) keeps all data physically in-country and aligns with the Egyptian Personal Data Protection Law (Law No. 151 of 2020). AWS me-south-1 (Bahrain) is the nearest hyperscaler region for schools comfortable with regional cloud. The school remains the data controller under Egyptian PDPL; the platform is the technical mechanism.

Yes. Egyptian language schools run English or French streams alongside the national Arabic stream, and international schools in New Cairo, Sheikh Zayed, Maadi, and Alexandria run IGCSE (Cambridge or Pearson Edexcel) or IB. The platform reports each cohort against its own curriculum standards on the same instance. A school running national plus IGCSE cohorts sees the mudiriya grade view and the Cambridge Checkpoint view from the same database, so academic leadership does not maintain parallel gradebooks.

Teachers can reference EKB resources against curriculum standards from within the LMS module: lesson plans and reading assignments link to the EKB resource URL, and search-friendly tagging aligns with MoETE curriculum documentation for the New Education System (Education 2.0). While OpenEduCat does not embed EKB content directly (EKB terms of use apply), it makes EKB referencing part of the teacher planning workflow rather than a separate browser tab.

The platform integrates with WhatsApp Business API and local Egyptian SMS gateways for parent notifications: attendance alerts, fee reminders, exam-result publications, and school announcements. Threaded conversations on each student record keep front-office staff, homeroom teachers, and the parent aligned. Egyptian parents overwhelmingly read WhatsApp before email; meeting them there closes the loop faster than portal-only notifications.

A single Egyptian school with 800 to 2,000 students typically goes live in 8 to 14 weeks: two weeks student data migration, two weeks curriculum and grading-sheet configuration for the specific streams (national, language, IGCSE, IB), two weeks fee-framework and Fawry / Paymob integration setup, two weeks staff training in Arabic and English, and two to four weeks parallel run before go-live at the next semester. Multi-branch groups roll out branch-by-branch over an academic year.
