Traditional schooling methods have been under question ever since the COVID-19 pandemic this year. School owners, principals and teachers are still trying to come to terms with this new method of teaching. Parents and students cannot be discounted here since they are trying to change and adapt to this new form of learning. No one knows when life will go back to normal or may be, this is the new normal? While meeting one-on-one, interacting, developing social skills and learning in person has a huge advantage, it’s a good opportunity to see the benefits online classes bring in your school management app.
Lower cost
Schools can save on infrastructure cost by going digital. Cutting down on rental, if negotiated, electricity, and water usage can bring in a significant amount of saving. Also by reducing manpower and retaining only essential staff, and by avoiding the purchase of expensive textbooks, schools can significantly cut down on their expenses. It’s also a cost efficient method for students and parents. No more expenditure on commuting, replenishing fuel, or buying material books and uniforms. You continue imparting learning using your school app.
Less stress
Teachers spend a lot of energy focusing on how the class is run in a traditional environment. And when one class is over, they have to run to their next class. It’s difficult to take breaks. In an online environment, it’s easier to take regular breaks and manage the class more effectively. When live classes can be recorded, teachers can upload videos to their drive. They can also share these videos with students who weren't present.

Easy attendance

Instant access
The ability to reach out to parents and students quickly online is a feature the school management software provides. An in-app notification, delivered straight to their phone that informs the recipient when the online class is scheduled to take place. This makes it easy to catch the attention of parents and students immediately. Also since the internet isn’t restricted by time, there is no traditional 9 to 3 or 4 pm timing for schools and students, allowing for flexible planning.
