Replicability

This project focused on building the best modern technology to improve education, and since we created the full platform online and released a mobile application for it with making sure having the best UI/UX designs that will motivate the school's staff and teachers and parents to use our system. It will make it really easy to share our technology in different areas around the world without having obstacles.

With WAZZA application we are focusing on many topics to improve education and one of the most important one is reducing drop-off rates by creating a map for all the schools and analysis all the attendance. We can partner with municipalities or ministries of education/ telecommunication and IT/ or NGOs who are focusing on these subjects to implement our technology with their help. This project is easily replicable because we worked really hard to make sure we can let as much as we can to use it and take advantage of it.


Sustainability

Since we provide a full solution for schools with a platform that includes a dashboard and mobile application that’s helps them to managing all administrative elements of primary and elementary education, including attendance reporting to increase kid's enrichment in preschool, daily records, share activities, photos, billing, direct communication with parents/ teachers/ administrators and managing calendar activities. Schools are saving so much money and effort and time using our system and because of that, we ask privilege schools to pay us for the system we provide them with. And this helps us to keep growing and provide our system free of charge to schools who can’t afford it but they need it, and for every school pay us we provide our system free of charge to other schools in camps or in schools in marginalized areas.
