The Student Information System
The Student Information System (SIS) is the beating heart of EduPrime. Every other app – Academics, Fees, Library, Transport, Hostel, Meals and the Bria AI engine – reads from the single student record the SIS owns. Master it first, and every other module behaves predictably.
Open the SIS from the App drawer (EduPrime → Students). The landing view is a searchable, filterable list of every learner in your institution, current and historical. Each row is exactly one human being – the one record per student principle is non-negotiable and is what keeps fee balances, grades and attendance from drifting apart.

The single-record principle
A student is created once – usually by converting an accepted applicant from Admissions, occasionally by manual enrolment or bulk import – and then lives forever. Promotion, transfer, graduation and re-admission all mutate that same record rather than spawning duplicates. When the Fees app shows a balance, it is reading student.fee_balance from this record. When Transport assigns a route, it writes back to the same record. There is never a second copy.
Three ways to view your students
EduPrime gives you three lenses on the same data:
- List view – dense, sortable columns (admission number, name, class/stream, boarding/day, status, fee balance). Best for bulk operations, exports and reconciliation.
- Kanban view – photo cards grouped by class or status. Best for a visual roll-call or spotting students with no photo or missing data.
- Profile (form) view – the full 360° record for one student, organised into tabs. Open it by clicking any row or card.
Core fields on every record
| Field | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Admission number | Unique, permanent institutional ID. Generated on enrolment. |
| Names | First, middle, surname – plus an optional preferred name. |
| Gender / Date of birth | Demographics; DOB drives age-based ECD and class checks. |
| Class / Stream | Current placement; updated by promotion and transfer. |
| Boarding vs Day | Drives Hostel and Meals eligibility. |
| Status | Active, Frozen or Archived (see dedicated page). |
| Tags | Free-form labels (e.g. Scholarship, Sibling, Bus-Route-3). |
