Run the school. Understand every learner. Improve learning.
SmartSakuu gives low-digital-maturity schools infrastructure to create reliable learner records, then uses AI to help teachers identify learning gaps, prepare lessons informed by actual class performance, guide targeted student learning, and measure whether support worked.
The platform connects the learner’s school journey in one record so schools can spot learning gaps earlier, intervene with the right support, and track whether that support is working.
Built for school leaders, teachers, students and parents. Starting in Ghana.
A school that stays connectedOne record. A fuller picture.
From admission to exam day
A little context. A better next step.

People at the centre. Always.
The problem
Schools often know the result. They do not always see the pattern behind it.
In many schools, learner information is spread across paper registers, spreadsheets, report cards, notebooks and the knowledge of individual staff members.
A school may record attendance, fees and examination results, yet still struggle to see:
which learners are beginning to fall behind
which topics they repeatedly struggle with
whether attendance or disengagement is becoming a warning sign
what support has already been provided
whether that support helped
which learners may be at risk of dropping out
Illustrative learner record · JHS 2B
48%
A learner scores 48% in Mathematics.
The school knows the score. But the score alone does not show whether that learner has struggled with Algebra across several assessments, whether performance is declining, whether attendance has changed, what support was previously provided, or whether that support worked.
There is more to this learner’s story.
Algebra
Weak across the last three assessments.The score doesn’t show which topic keeps causing difficulty.
Performance
61% last term, 48% now. Declining.One score doesn’t show the trend.
Attendance
96%. No change.Attendance sits in a paper register.
Support provided
Extra algebra practice last term.What was tried sits in a teacher’s notebook.
Did it work?
Not yet. The algebra gap persists.No one can easily tell whether the support helped.
The pattern is visible: a persistent algebra gap that last term’s support has not closed.Schools often know what happened. The harder question is why it keeps happening and what should happen next.
A learner should not have to struggle repeatedly before someone sees the pattern.
The information needed to see that pattern may already exist somewhere in the school. It may also never have been captured in a form the school can use.
SmartSakuu closes the gap between what a school records and what it can understand and act on.
Why this matters
Learning gaps become harder to address when they are seen too late.
Many learners move through school carrying unresolved difficulties from one term to the next.
60%+
of children in Ghana do not achieve basic literacy and numeracy by the end of primary school.
11.6 → 5.7
expected years of schooling translate into about 5.7 effective learning years.
The challenge is not simply collecting more data.It is making the information schools already generate useful early enough to intervene and support the learner.
Why digitize the school?
Because useful AI starts with reliable information.
If attendance stays in a paper register, assessment history in spreadsheets, interventions in teachers’ notebooks and important context in people’s heads, neither the school nor AI has a reliable picture to work from.
That is why school management is not separate from SmartSakuu’s learning proposition.It creates the digital foundation.
SmartSakuu brings everyday school processes into one environment:
Admissions
Student records
Attendance
Fees and payments
HR
Assessments
Examinations
Curriculum
Teaching and learning
Reporting
As the school operates, those activities progressively create a continuous educational record for each learner.
Start with the school’s practical needs.
Schools need reliable systems whether or not they are ready to use AI. Schools can begin with the capabilities they need and expand over time.
The operational system is the entry point.
The learner record becomes the intelligence foundation.
AI and learning tools expand the value.
The core product idea
One learner. One record. More useful every term.
A learner’s record should show more than marks. One assessment can contribute to a report card, reveal a persistent weak topic, inform the teacher’s next lesson, shape the learner’s revision and help a parent understand where support is needed.
The records used to run the school become records that help the learner.

What SmartSakuu changes
One connected record. Different value for each person.
School leaders
See academic and operational information without rebuilding the picture from paper files, spreadsheets and separate reports.
Ask the School AI: “Which learners need academic support this term, and which learning gaps appear most often?”
See what the class struggled with before planning what comes next. SmartSakuu combines curriculum requirements with relevant class performance to support more targeted teaching.
Receive revision, AI tutoring and BECE/WASSCE preparation focused on the topics that need the most attention instead of treating the entire syllabus equally.
“This is where your child needs help, this is what the school is doing, and this is how you can support them.”
AI in context
AI that starts with school context.
Generic AI starts with a blank prompt. SmartSakuu works with the curriculum, assessment history, topic performance and learning activity the school already holds.
A context-aware AI lesson planner
SmartSakuu can draft lesson plans, lesson notes, activities, quizzes, assignments and differentiated exercises.
Generic AI can generate:“A lesson plan on Linear Equations.”
SmartSakuu can help prepare:“The next Linear Equations lesson for this JHS 2 class, focusing on the concepts learners struggled with in the previous assessment and providing additional activities for those who need more support.”
The teacher stays in controlThe teacher reviews, adapts and approves the material before use.
Built around the lesson you need to teach.An illustrative JHS 2 lesson on linear equations.
Revision that starts where the learner needs help.
The same learner context guides revision, AI tutoring, past questions and BECE/WASSCE preparation.

A day in a connected school
One school. Different days. A shared picture.
A student’s school day
A difficult topic. A clearer way forward.
A low algebra score becomes a starting point. The learning path sets focused practice, and the AI tutor explains the step the learner keeps missing.
Less time piecing things together. More time teaching.
Recent quiz results show where the class is struggling. The teacher adapts a lesson draft, sets practice for each group and follows up with learners who need more help.
Where is my child struggling, and how can I help? A parent sees their child’s progress, this week’s focus and a teacher’s note, with one clear thing to practise at home.

Exam preparation
BECE and WASSCE preparation that responds to the learner.
Exam preparation should not always begin with the entire syllabus again. SmartSakuu can use assessment history and learning performance to help students focus on the areas where they need the most work.
Students can access:
Past questions
Timed practice
Mock examinations
Guided revision
AI tutoring
Topic-based practice
Incentives reinforce meaningful learning activity, consistency and improvement, rather than rewarding participation alone.

SmartSakuu is currently deployed in schools in Ghana’s Upper West Region. It is built around GES/NaCCA curriculum structures, supports BECE/WASSCE preparation, and has a partnership with the Wa Municipal branch of the Ghana National Association of Private Schools (GNAPS).
We are using these deployments to improve the product and measure what changes for schools, teachers and learners.
Built around Ghanaian schools. Designed to localize.
SmartSakuu starts with Ghanaian education:
GES/NaCCA curriculum
BECE and WASSCE
Local school workflows
Local payment channels
Multilingual support
The immediate focus is to make the model work well and demonstrate measurable value in Ghana. From there, curricula, examinations, languages, payment methods and school workflows can be localized for other African education systems.
Institutional memory
The school’s knowledge should not disappear when people leave.
Student history, attendance, academic progress, interventions and institutional information should remain usable even when teachers or administrators change.
SmartSakuu helps the school retain:
What happened
What was tried
What changed
What still needs attention
A question for School AI
“How has Mathematics performance changed over the last three years?”
SmartSakuu uses authorized historical records to show trends and persistent weak areas, linked to the classes, assessments and interventions behind them.
Assessment historyClass recordsInterventions
An example question. Answers depend on the records available to the school.
Responsible AI
AI supports people. People remain responsible.
SmartSakuu is designed so that educational decisions remain with teachers and school leaders.
AI draftsTeacher reviewsTeacher approves
Teacher control
AI-generated lesson plans, notes, quizzes and activities remain drafts until reviewed by the teacher.
Role-based access
Users only see information appropriate to their role. Parents see information about their own child.
Human oversight
AI supports teaching, learning and analysis. It does not make autonomous high-stakes decisions about learners.
Context with boundaries
AI works with the curriculum and educational information the user is authorized to access.
For headteachers
What a connected record changes for a headteacher.
Illustrative scenarios based on common school situations. Approved headteacher stories will replace them.
Mock results used to arrive in three spreadsheets. With every assessment in one record, the head can see which JHS 3 learners are slipping in mathematics before BECE, and plan support while there is time.
Headteacher, public JHSIllustrative scenario
Parent meetings used to start with a search for paperwork. With attendance, fees and progress in one learner record, the conversation moves straight to what the family and school will do next.
Proprietor and head, private basic schoolIllustrative scenario
When experienced teachers transfer mid-year, their knowledge of learners stays in the record. New staff pick up each class with its history, and the head can still see how every group has progressed.
Headteacher, community basic schoolIllustrative scenario
Between report cards, families have little to go on. Progress updates drawn from the same record let parents see where support is needed before the term ends.
