As Nigerian schools prepare to resume in September, one education technology solution is quietly becoming the talk of school owners and administrators — SkoolMate, a homegrown school management system that is redefining how schools are run.
Reports reaching our education desk indicate a surge in the number of schools onboarding the platform in recent weeks. Interestingly, the growth is not only coming from schools that are entirely new to digital solutions but also from institutions that had previously subscribed to other school management systems.
When asked why they were making the switch, schools gave varying reasons. Some cited SkoolMate’s affordable pricing compared to other solutions on the market, others pointed to its ease of use. However, the standout reason mentioned by the majority is SkoolMate’s inbuilt Computer-Based Test (CBT) system, which they believe will help students prepare more effectively for external examinations such as JAMB and WAEC.
One principal in Abuja noted: “With SkoolMate’s CBT feature, our students will get familiar with the same kind of environment they’ll face in JAMB. It’s a game-changer for us.”
Another school administrator in Lagos added: “We were paying much more for another system that didn’t even have half of SkoolMate’s features. The fact that it’s cheaper and more transparent is why we moved.”
Free 30-Day Access Wins Schools Over
One of the strategies that seems to be paying off for SkoolMate is its 30-day free access to all features without any commitment. Unlike competitors who lock schools into contracts from the onset, SkoolMate says it believes school owners deserve fairness and transparency before making decisions that affect their institutions.
Designed for All School Sizes
SkoolMate is built to work seamlessly with both small private schools and large institutions. Among the features attracting attention are:
Seamless student registration
Built-in Computer-Based Test (CBT) exams
Instant result calculation and computation
Auto-generated report cards, shareable via email/WhatsApp and printable
School owners say these tools not only save time and money but also reduce the stress of managing records and academic reports manually.
The Future of School Management
With Nigeria’s education sector facing increasing pressure to digitize and modernize, SkoolMate is positioning itself as more than just a management tool. It’s fast becoming a complete digital companion for schools.
As September approaches, all signs point to more schools onboarding the platform. And with affordability, fairness, and innovation at its core, SkoolMate might just be the solution many institutions have been waiting for.
