ICT for school leaders
A practical course for head teachers, deputies and bursars on choosing, running and paying for school systems.
Many schools buy software they never fully use, or run on spreadsheets that only one person understands. This course helps school leaders ask better questions, spot the real needs and make choices that fit the budget.
It is taught online in short evening sessions, so you can join after the school day. Every session ends with a task you can apply at your own school.

- Know what a school management system should do, and what to ask before you buy
- Plan fee collection with mobile money and keep records that match
