School Management System for Zambia Schools
Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) + Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) · Approximately 4.5 million learners enrolled across 10,000+ primary and secondary schools
Overview
Zambia's education structure spans Early Childhood Education (ECE), Primary (Grades 1–7), Junior Secondary (Grades 8–9), Senior Secondary (Grades 10–12), and tertiary education, governed by the Curriculum Development Centre (CDC) and the Ministry of Education. The Examinations Council of Zambia (ECZ) administers the Grade 7 Primary School Leaving Certificate Examination, the Grade 9 Junior Secondary School Leaving Certificate Examination, and the Grade 12 School Certificate Examination. Zambia's private school sector has grown substantially, particularly in Lusaka, the Copperbelt, and Central Province. Mobile money adoption is rising, with MTN MoMo and Airtel Money becoming accepted payment channels for school fees. RedeemOS provides Zambian schools with a locally-relevant platform supporting ECZ examination structures and Zambia's mobile payment ecosystem.
Common Administrative Challenges
ECZ examination registration for Grades 7, 9, and 12 managed through separate paper-based processes
School fee collection fragmented across bank deposits, mobile money, and cash with no unified view
