The solution enables schools to digitize their data, allowing parents to monitor children’s performance in real time. 

Shule System is a digital solution developed by the Congolese firm Find Solution Technolgy. It lets parents access children's school records and track school-related information in real time. 

According to Mannick Syllas Bryant, Find Solution Technology’s founder, the solution comes with a complete package offering access to the internet, electricity, and computers because several schools are yet to get basic infrastructure. 

Thanks to the package that comes with Shule System, schools can digitalize their data, allowing parents access to various information through the Shule mobile app (available for Android and iOS devices). Among other things, parents can check whether there is still any outstanding school fees, or check their children’s grades, and attendance record. They can also communicate with school authorities on the platform to get additional information on specific topics. 

Parents are charged $5 per student every academic year to get access to information. The start-up claims to have registered 24 schools, with 6,232 pupils, and 2,250 parents. It is already present in neighboring Rwanda and plans to expand into Burundi and Senegal. "We have a very large market in the DRC, with more than 90,000 schools and 25 million students [...] The goal within two years is to cover 1,000 schools in the DRC," explains Mannick Syllas Bryant.
