Students
Timetable, homework, attendance, results, fee status, library and notices — their own record, not a printout.

Coming soon
EduBuddy
A project by Astral Lab Limited.
An A-to-Z management system for schools and madrasahs — and, above the administration, a community that joins students, teachers and parents into one place instead of three disconnected ones, with a live cultural competition season running across it.
4constituencies served
12administrative areas
3layers above administration
8cultural event categories
Four people, one system
Most institute software serves the office and leaves everyone else outside it. EduBuddy gives each of the four a way in.
Teachers
Class rosters, attendance, marks entry, homework, lesson materials and direct contact with parents.
Parents
Attendance and results as they happen, fee dues and payment, notices, and a channel to the teacher that is not a phone call at night.
Administration
Admissions, staff, finance, examinations, transport, hostel and reporting, with an audit trail behind all of it.
A-to-Z administration
The full institute, not a gradebook with extra screens.
Admissions and enrolment
Student and guardian records
Staff, roles and payroll inputs
Attendance — student and staff
Timetable and class scheduling
Examinations, marks and result publishing
Fees, invoices, dues and receipts
Homework and lesson materials
Library and issue tracking
Hostel and transport
Notices, events and calendar
Reports, analytics and an audit trail
The community layer
The part that is not in the software institutes already refused to buy.
One community, four roles
Students, teachers and parents in a moderated space with role-aware permissions — not an unmanaged group chat.
Clusters
Institutes group into clusters — by board, by region, by trust — sharing notices, materials, events and standards.
Institute vs institute
Competitions between institutes and between clusters: quizzes, olympiads, attendance and result challenges, with leaderboards.
Active cultural competition
A running season of cultural events across institutes — debate, recitation and qirat, essay and handwriting, art, music, drama and sports — with entries, judging panels, scoring and published results.
Reputation that travels
Badges and standing earned in competition attach to the student and to the institute, and are visible to parents choosing one.
Three revenue paths
Each one is gated by the one before it. None of the three is live.

Where it stands
EduBuddy is the newest project under Astral Lab. The specification below is what is being proposed, not what is already running.
No code has been written yet. It is scoped as a phase of its own so it cannot quietly consume the delivery budget of the ones with clients already.
It starts with one school
The cluster licence needs a working single institute. The competition season needs enough institutes for a competition to mean anything. Everything downstream waits on the first school that says yes.
