Cash flow is the lifeblood of any educational institution. Yet, many schools in Ghana struggle with arrears that exceed 20% of their expected revenue.
The Cost of Manual Tracking
Every hour your bursary staff spends chasing parents on the phone is an hour lost to more productive work. Worse, manual receipts often lead to reconciliation errors that take weeks to resolve.
