Questions answered
What should a school ERP always have?
Student records, fees with receipts, attendance, exams or marks, staff records, reports and parent messages. The rest depends on your school.
Should I pick the cheapest?
Compare the total yearly cost and how well it fits your fee rules. A cheap tool that does not fit costs more in staff time.
How long should a trial be?
Long enough to enter fees for one class, mark attendance for a week and print a few receipts.
