Student records & admissions

The admission register, finally in one place and never out of date.

Basic plan and above

Why it matters

01

Stop keeping three versions of the same list

Most schools carry a learner list in a ledger, another in a spreadsheet on the bursar's laptop and a third in the class teacher's notebook. Msomi keeps one record per learner and shows every office the same thing.

02

Admit a learner in under a minute

Capture the learner, the guardian and the class in a single form. The admission number is issued automatically in your school's own format, so nobody has to check what the last one was.

03

History that survives the year

Promotion, repetition, transfer and withdrawal are recorded as enrolment events rather than overwritten fields, so a learner's path through the school stays readable years later.

A school’s learner register is its most important document, and in most schools it is also its least reliable one. Names are spelled three ways, a transfer is recorded in one book but not another, and nobody is quite sure whether last term’s Grade 6 list is the current one.

Msomi treats the learner record as the spine of the whole system. Everything else — attendance, marks, fees, transport, the parent’s app — points back at it, which means a correction made once is a correction made everywhere.

Admitting a learner

Admission is a single form: the learner’s details, their guardians, and the class they are joining. The admission number is issued by the system according to the format your school has configured, so the office never has to look up the last number used or reconcile two people admitting learners at the same time.

Where a school is joining Msomi mid-year with hundreds of existing learners, the same information can be loaded in bulk. Msomi generates an Excel template matching its own fields, and validates every row before anything is written, reporting problems by row and column rather than failing silently.

Through the years

Learners do not simply exist; they move. Msomi records enrolment as a sequence of states across academic years — active, promoted, repeated, transferred, graduated, withdrawn — so the register tells you not only where a learner is now but how they got there. When a former learner’s guardian calls in four years asking for a leaving certificate, the record is still coherent.

A demo runs about forty minutes and uses your own class lists, frameworks and grading — so you are looking at your school rather than a sample database.
