Frequently asked questions

Good questions to ask before getting started.

Is SmartEdu suitable for public and private schools?

We welcome conversations with both public and private schools. Fit, procurement requirements, onboarding and pricing are discussed based on the individual school.

Does face-recognition attendance require special equipment?

Yes. The exact equipment and integration must be checked before confirming that a particular scanner or terminal is supported.

Can the school import learners in bulk?

Bulk learner import is a planned workflow using an agreed spreadsheet format. The file structure and validation process should be confirmed during onboarding.

How does SmartEdu protect learner information?

Learner data needs careful handling. Before a school rollout, the parties should confirm access controls, data flows, retention, hosting and relevant POPIA responsibilities. Please ask us for current implementation details rather than assuming any certification or safeguard.

How do we get pricing?

Contact us to discuss the school size, modules, equipment and onboarding needs. We will confirm the relevant pricing and scope before any commitment.
