Module Overview

SIM-100 is the foundation of Edupro SMS for Zimbabwean schools. Every other module such as Attendance, Fees and Reporting draws its student data from this central registry. Getting SIM-100 right means every downstream process is accurate from day one, whether your school follows ZIMSEC, Cambridge or both curricula.

Comprehensive Learner Profiles

Capture full demographics for every Zimbabwean learner including full name, date of birth, national ID, gender, home address, nationality, home language and religion, all in one structured form per student.

Medical and Health Records

Store allergies, chronic conditions, vaccination history and emergency medical instructions. These records are critical for school nurses and duty teachers responding to incidents during the school day.

Parent and Guardian Contacts

Record up to three guardians per learner with mobile numbers, email addresses, relationship type and workplace contacts. These feed directly into the Communications Portal (COM-400) for bulk SMS and WhatsApp messaging to Zimbabwean parents.

Enrollment and Academic History

A full chronological record of every class, term and year the learner has been at the school. Includes subject combinations, academic level and year end progression decisions across ZIMSEC and Cambridge pathways.

Instant Offline Search

Search any student by name, admission number, class or national ID even with no internet. Results return in under one second from the local server database, making SIM-100 ideal for rural and peri urban Zimbabwean schools.

Role Based Access Control

Different staff roles see only what they need. Headmasters access all records, class teachers see only their class, the registrar manages admissions, and the school nurse accesses medical data. All access is logged for Ministry inspection readiness.

Built for Zimbabwean Schools

Edupro SIM-100 is designed around the Zimbabwe school calendar, the ZIMSEC Heritage Based Curriculum and the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education reporting cycles. It works in Harare, Bulawayo, Mutare, Gweru, Masvingo and rural districts where internet access is limited.

ZIMSEC Registry and Ministry Compliance

Edupro SIM-100 is designed around the actual forms and requirements issued by the Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education and the Zimbabwe School Examinations Council (ZIMSEC).

1

Ministry EMIS Numbers

Each school record carries the official EMIS (Education Management Information System) school code. Student records are exportable in the Ministry's standard CSV format for annual returns.

2

Class Register Generation

Generate official class registers for any class at any time. Registers are formatted to meet Ministry inspection requirements and can be printed A3 or A4 landscape.

3

ZIMSEC Candidate Lists

For Form 4 and Form 6 examination entries, SIM-100 generates candidate entry lists in the exact format required by the ZIMSEC online entry portal, eliminating manual data re-entry and reducing errors.

4

Annual Census Returns

The module produces end of year statistical returns such as total enrolment by gender, grade and age group, as required by the Ministry's Provincial Education Office.

Migrating from Paper and Excel

Most Zimbabwean schools start with paper registers and Excel spreadsheets. Edupro's onboarding team in Harare handles the full migration and no data is lost.

Excel Import

We provide a standardised Excel template. Schools fill in student data column by column, then our team imports it directly with no typing required.

Manual Capture Support

For schools with only paper records, Edupro's onboarding technicians visit the school and assist with data capture over two to three days, depending on school size.

Data Verification

After import, school staff run a verification report comparing total student counts per class against their existing registers before going live.

Who Uses SIM-100

Access to student records is controlled by role. Every staff member sees exactly what their position requires, no more and no less.
