Ghana

Built around how Ghanaian schools actually run

Heads, bursars, and teachers in Ghana do not need a US or UK admin tool with Ghana pasted on later. These are the local details this page is for.

GES, BECE, and WASSCE

Gradebook supports percentage and letter scales, including BECE 1–9 and WASSCE A1–F9, so report cards match what Ghanaian parents expect.

GHS fees and MoMo

Track balances in Ghana Cedis. Parents can pay online through Paystack, which supports MTN MoMo and other Ghana mobile money networks.

WhatsApp and Accra support

Onboard from Accra or remotely. Talk to the team on WhatsApp at 024 024 7082 — the same Ghana line schools already use for demos.

Learning plus administration

The same students you manage for fees and attendance can practise BECE and WASSCE past questions and interactive GES lessons in the Nyansafo app.

Why Nyansafo

Why Ghanaian schools pick Nyansafo

Local SMS tools in Ghana often stop at fees and registers. Foreign tools miss GES grading and MoMo. Nyansafo covers administration and the learning layer Ghanaian families already search for.

Built for Ghana, not adapted later

GES Primary through SHS, BECE and WASSCE grading, GHS pricing, Paystack MoMo, and a Ghana support line — not a generic Africa label on a foreign product.

Schools Love It

We work directly with school administrators to build features that matter. No bloated features you will never use, just the tools your school needs.

Secure & Reliable

Student data is encrypted and stored securely. Role-based access ensures teachers, parents, and admins only see what they need to.

Grows With You

Whether you have 50 students or 5,000, the platform scales with your school. Add new modules as your needs evolve.

Works Offline Too

Core features like attendance and grade entry work even when the internet drops. Data syncs automatically when you reconnect.

Up and Running in Days

Our onboarding team helps you import your existing data and trains your staff. Most schools are fully operational within one week.
