Our original basis of the project was to ensure all schools in Uganda have some sort of web presence. After getting a large number of requests to build websites for schools, but we soon realised schools did not have sufficient capital for website, so the idea was spawned to build a platform where schools, could build manage their own website. Further research also supported our idea, less than 10% of school in uganda have website. From there the project has to expanded to digitising 1000’s of exam past papers and solutions and making them available to students to download. We have also added functionality to help students with their revision, but providing curriculum based tests and quizzes.
Socially, this application will enable the entire communities to get information about any school in the Uganda, by searching and comparing schools basing on different metrics such as location (interactive map), past UNEB performance and levels etc. Give access to remote communities to a vast database online of past exam papers and solutions
