School Management System for Gambia Schools

Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MoBSE) + Gambia Basic Education Certificate Examination (GABECE) · Approximately 500,000 learners enrolled across primary and secondary schools

Overview

The Gambia's education system is structured into Early Childhood Development, Lower Basic Education (Grades 1–6), Upper Basic Education (Grades 7–9), Senior Secondary Education (Grades 10–12), and tertiary education, all overseen by the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MoBSE). The Gambia Basic Education Certificate Examination (GABECE) marks completion of upper basic education, while the West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) closes the secondary cycle. As one of West Africa's smaller education markets, The Gambia has a concentrated but growing private school sector in the Greater Banjul Area. Most schools operate with fewer than 500 students, making RedeemOS's scalable, pay-per-student model particularly cost-effective for Gambian school owners.
