Problem
Low User Engagement and Usability Issues
Teachers and administrators found the interface cluttered and difficult to navigate, especially when accessing key features like attendance, exams, and reports. The homepage was overloaded with complex data, including detailed charts and statistics, making it hard for users to digest.

There was a lack of consistency between the web app, mobile app, and landing page, leading to fragmented user experiences across different devices.
Lack of Monitoring Tools for Parent to Track Their Children
Parents have expressed a need for better monitoring tools to track their children's activities and progress in school.
