School management systems are one of the more complex web applications we build, because they need to serve several different users at once: administrators, teachers, and parents, and each group in Kathmandu, Nepal has different expectations and different levels of technical comfort.

For administrators, the priority is usually admissions tracking, fee collection with online payment, and attendance and result management in one place instead of scattered paper registers. For teachers, it needs to be simple enough to use daily without training, since a system teachers avoid quickly becomes shelfware.

For parents, the single most valued feature is almost always the simplest one: real-time visibility into their child's attendance, results, and fee status without having to call the school office. Getting that one feature right often matters more to overall adoption than any other part of the system.
