Schools in Lagos

School management software for schools in Lagos

School management software for a Lagos school has to survive Lagos: parents who pay from the car, teachers who commute two hours, and a private-school market where a late report card loses a family to the school down the road. Safeticha runs fees, payroll, results and parent communication from one place, on the phone, for schools anywhere in the state.

Definition

Running a school in Lagos

Lagos has the largest concentration of private schools in Nigeria and the most demanding parents. Schools compete on communication as much as on results: the school that tells a parent their child arrived, scored 78 in maths and owes ₦45,000 before the parent asks is the school that keeps them.

Payroll in Lagos State means monthly PAYE remittance to the Lagos State Internal Revenue Service. Safeticha's pay runs give the bursar the PAYE total per employee and per run under the Nigeria Tax Act 2025 rules, so the remittance schedule is a report, not a weekend.

Why Lagos schools choose Safeticha

Parents pay fees from anywhere by card or transfer, and get a receipt in the app
Teachers mark attendance on the bus if they have to; it syncs when they are online
Report cards go out as PDFs the day results are released, no printing run
Fee financing through EdPay for the many families who pay termly fees in pieces
Safeguarding records that stand up to Lagos State Ministry of Education and accreditation visits

Pricing

What it costs

Safeticha is priced per school, not per module. Payroll, fees, invoicing, receipts, report cards, attendance, CBT exams and safeguarding are all part of the same school plan, which is tiered by pupil count and starts at ₦37,500 a month.

New schools get a 10-day onboarding period and a further 30 days of use before the first charge, so the first bill lands on day 40. Billing is monthly from the school wallet with no lock-in contract.
