The Egyptian entrepreneur Dr. Khadija El-Bedweihy founded Skolera school management system in 2019, aiming at developing a comprehensive system to make school management a simple process. Skolera has managed to change education in many schools as well as the individuals’ perspective towards the whole process.

Skolera­ , the unified digital school management system, allowed Dr. Khadija to create solutions to the challenges facing the educational process in Egypt and the Arab world. This was done completely on the basis of scientific approaches of experts in education and psychology.

Moreover, Skolera was awarded twice by Finance Online Website: the best LMS 2017 Rising Star and Great User Experience awards.

Consequently, Skolera school management system has risen to be one of the top 20 comprehensive learning management systems in the world. It was adopted by Egypt for Education Management Organization, which manages Nile Egyptian Schools.

Now, it is being used in 9 of these schools as a preliminary stage, in addition to a number of schools in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Kenia. Therefore, Skolera SMS (school management system) was successful in many schools, especially the state’s Nile Egyptian Schools. 

It’s worth mentioning that its adoption at Nile Egyptian Schools (NES) reflects the course Egyptian state and education ministry are taking towards digitization and adopting the best technological means like SMS.

This has deeply affected the education process and its participants: students, teachers, parents, heads of departments, etc.

Skolera School Management System: 2019… Unprecedented Accomplishments

Skolera SMS is one of trendiest technological solutions that aim to constantly develop education and polish teaching methods and school management. It’s an innovative tool that teachers cannot do without now. It helps you create educational activities, manage them, and share them with students and other teachers. 

It’s also considered a complementary factor to the educational process, as it makes education more effective, meaningful, and influential.

With the fast-paced life we now have and technology mostly leading it, creating such an edtech system was a must.

This is because nowadays students need more effective methods and tools to communicate with each other and their teachers, something Skolera was able to provide. Further, it was able to introduce a comprehensive platform to manage students’ affairs, HR, finance, different school services, and more.

The SMS accomplishments in 2019 have exceeded many of our expectations in Skolera. We started the year by welcoming many schools who newly joined schools that prefer Skolera. And we ended it by launching new updates for Skolera’s 6.0 Version based on special recommendation from our partners—teachers, parents, and students using the system—in schools.

Today, we celebrate a new year—2020—by more updates that would add more productivity on Skolera, a system designed specifically based on a combination of the views of the best in the fields of technology and psychology (read Confessions of Egyptian Teachers on their Relationship with Students). Now let’s look back to our best accomplishments in 2019 and what we’ve reached so far.

1. Skolera Launches New Updates for Version 6.0

Skolera launched new updates for version 6.0, ending 2019 with a flourish. The new updates included adding more flexibility to the course planner, assignments, and exams, to make teaching easier for teachers.

On the one hand, in case you are a teacher, Skolera now provides you with the ability to easily upload multiple files at one.

Teachers can write mathematical symbols and clear and expressive behavior notes on students and the actions taken towards a student’s bad behavior based on pre-determined categories.

Moreover, teachers can now assign homework to any specific group of students they choose, helping low performance by assigning more or different assignments to them, for instance.

On the other hand, let’s say you are a student. Skolera school management system can now automatically save your answers in exams to keep from losing them, if the Internet is down at any point, for example. When the time is over, the system automatically saves all answers and produces them to the teacher, so the student doesn’t need to press ‘end exam.’

New Updates: Skolera School Management System Monitors Its Users Requirements

Capital International Schools—one of the best school we are always pleased to deal with—has been our partners in success and development (to know more about Skolera, read “5 Classroom Management Strategies using Skolera“).

Skolera’s adoption at Nile Egyptian Schools came as the company’s strategic initiative to manage e-education “with the goal of developing education by substituting knowledge with technology for students through their own accounts on the internet instead of the old system and papers.”

Dr. Hassan Ismail Fares, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Egypt for Education Management Organization, signed the contract with Dr. Khadija, the CEO of Skolera, to start using the SMS at the Nile Egyptian School.

This comes alongside the state’s move toward improving education quality and keep up with the latest international systems through digitization and raising the number of Nile Egyptian Schools in the governorates and cities of Egypt, according to Al Wafd.

Dr. Hassan Ismail Fares told Al Wafd that Skolera school management system is based on school management’s interaction with students and parents.

Besides, Skolera allows the teacher to recognize the performance of each student and their knowledge, their points of weakness and strength, the individual differences with other students, and how to improve their ability to learn.

It also gives teachers the opportunity to let students join the educational process to create a space for individual learning, helping build their personality.

Skolera’s team held a training program session for 5 of the Nile Egyptian Schools, for both school managers and teachers, where the system’s different interfaces and main features were illustrated in order to begin using it in these schools to electronically manage the education process.

We have noticed indeed that there is a noticeable shift towards developing education and edtech thanks to the current Minister of Education, Dr. Tarek Galal Shawki, and the constant instructions to employ edtech in our schools. 

This gives us hope that Skolera school management system will soon be implemented in all Egyptian schools in order to produce a transparent better educational process for us to take steady steps towards more success, development, and comprehensive reform.
