NyotaSkul
Now welcoming founding schools

Teach.Observe.Decide.Nyota does the rest.

NyotaSkul is a school management system for Kenyan CBC schools. It runs admissions, timetables, attendance, report cards and fees, and every teacher gets an AI assistant that drafts schemes of work, lesson plans and records of work in the Kenyan CBC format.

Built for Kenya's Competency-Based Curriculum, PP1 to Grade 9.

How many evenings does your staff spend on CBC paperwork?

Schemes of work, lesson plans and records of work all have to match the curriculum design, and most of it is still written by hand. NyotaSkul prepares the paperwork so teachers can spend their time on learners.

The usual term

  • Copy strands, sub-strands and learning outcomes from the curriculum design into a scheme, by hand
  • Split the term into weeks and lessons with a calendar and a calculator
  • Write a lesson plan for every lesson, often late at night
  • Back-fill the record of work before the next inspection
  • Chase approvals on paper

With NyotaSkul

  • The curriculum design is read in once, and two people review it before teachers use it
  • Each class gets its term scheme in one click, split by its real lesson count
  • Nyota drafts each lesson plan; the teacher edits and saves it
  • Finishing a lesson fills the record of work
  • The teacher approves the scheme, then the head teacher does

From the curriculum design to tomorrow's lesson

Set up once at the start of the year. After that, planning keeps pace with teaching.

  1. Upload the curriculum design

    Add the KICD design as a PDF or photos. NyotaSkul reads it into strands, sub-strands, outcomes, inquiry questions, competencies, values and PCIs.

  2. Set your timetable

    Periods, school days, classes and streams. Teaching assignments tell NyotaSkul who teaches what, and how often.

  3. Prepare term schemes

    One click per class and subject gives a scheme in the familiar Kenyan layout, ready to print or save as a PDF. How schemes are made.

  4. Teach from Today

    Nyota drafts the lesson plan. Teach from your phone, tap Finish, and the record of work fills itself. About lesson plans.

See a lesson plan Nyota drafted

Plans follow the KICD format teachers already use, so an inspector sees what they expect. The teacher stays the author.

  • Pre-filled from the scheme. Outcomes, inquiry question, competencies, values and PCIs come from the approved scheme row.
  • Timed steps. Introduction, development and conclusion, with minutes that add up to the lesson.
  • Teacher confirms. Nothing is saved until the teacher has reviewed it.

This sample uses made-up content for illustration. It is not text from a KICD curriculum design.

Nyota is the assistant inside NyotaSkul. It prepares drafts from your school's approved curriculum. Teachers and heads make every decision.

What Nyota does

  • Drafts lesson plans from the approved scheme of work
  • Reads curriculum designs into a structure you can review
  • Answers questions in the teacher workspace with Ask Nyota
  • Keeps a record of what it proposed and who confirmed it

What Nyota never does

  • Saves or publishes anything without a person confirming it
  • Approves schemes or replaces the head teacher's judgement
  • Shares one school's data with another school
  • Replaces teachers

Made in Kenya, for East Africa

We're starting with Kenyan primary and junior schools and the CBC. The platform is built for local realities: phones first, slow connections and printed records.

As more curricula are supported, schools in Uganda, Tanzania and Rwanda will be able to join. Until then, they're on our roadmap, not our feature list.

Questions schools ask us

Is NyotaSkul aligned with the CBC?

Yes. Schemes and lesson plans are built from the curriculum design your school uploads, using the strands, sub-strands, outcomes, inquiry questions, competencies, values and PCIs it contains. NyotaSkul is not endorsed by KICD, TSC or the Ministry of Education; it follows the published designs.

Does it work on phones and with printing?

It runs in any modern browser, on phones, tablets and computers, with nothing to install. Schemes, lesson plans and records of work print cleanly or save as PDF for your files.

Will Nyota replace our teachers?

No. Nyota prepares drafts. Teachers review, change and confirm them, and head teachers approve schemes. Nothing Nyota proposes is saved without a person confirming it.

Who can see our school's data?

Each school has its own workspace on its own address, such as yourschool.nyotaskul.com. Data is kept to that school, and people only see what their role allows. We'll publish full data protection and hosting details before general launch.

How much does it cost?

Pricing depends on your school's size and the plan you choose. Founding schools in the pilot get special terms. See plans or talk to us.

How long does it take to get started?

You can register your school and set up the year, terms and classes yourself. Learner lists can be imported from a spreadsheet. We help founding schools with set-up and training.
