For school leaders
Run the school on numbers nobody had to collect
Marks by class and by teacher, how far each subject has actually got, and attendance ready to export the week the ministry asks for it. All of it falls out of lessons your staff already taught.
The problems it solves
Four things that cost schools the most
You find out too late
Exam results tell you a class fell behind four months after anything could be done. Layli shows you coverage and marks in week six.
Reporting eats the week
Attendance and marks get copied by hand from exercise books to spreadsheets to ministry forms. Here they are already in the system, and the export is one click.
Workload drives teachers out
Planning and marking are the hours that burn people out. Taking the first draft of both off a teacher's desk is often what decides whether they stay another year.
No lab, no practicals
Most schools in the region have no working laboratory. A simulation is a poor substitute for one and a very good substitute for nothing.
Administration
The report is finished before you ask for it
Attendance is taken in the app. Homework is marked in the app. By the time the board meets, the numbers are already assembled, and nobody lost a week putting them together.
- A register per subject per day, taken on a phone or a laptop
- Daily and monthly attendance reports, exported to Excel or PDF
- Teacher activity: who is generating and assigning, and how much
- A record per pupil you can open in front of a parent
- Administrators see the school, teachers see their own classes
Getting started
What rollout actually looks like
An afternoon to set up classes and import a student roll. Nobody has to migrate years of history first.
- 01
Set up the school
We create the school, add your classes, and import your student roll from the spreadsheet you already keep.
- 02
Invite your staff
Teachers get an email and set their own password. Roles decide the rest: administrators see the school, teachers see their classes.
- 03
Start with one subject
Most schools begin with a single subject and two willing teachers, then widen it once the staff room has watched it work.
- 04
Students get Caalim
Pupils install the app and it recognises them by the phone number you registered. Set work turns up on its own, and costs them nothing.
Supported curricula: Somaliland · Puntland · Somalia · Edexcel · International
Questions from school leaders
What does it cost?
Pricing is per school and follows the size of your roll. The first term is a free pilot on your own curriculum, so nobody signs anything before your teachers have used it. Tell us your pupil numbers and we will quote.
Do we need reliable internet in every classroom?
No. Teachers need a connection when they generate and assign; pupils need one when they download. After that, material a pupil has opened stays readable offline.
Who owns the data?
Your school. Student records, results and attendance belong to you and export at any time, including on the way out.
How much training do teachers need?
One session. Most teachers produce something usable in it. The interface runs in English and Somali, and the workflow follows how they already plan: pick the chapter, pick the pages, go.
Can we keep using our own textbooks?
That is the whole point. Layli generates from the pages of the books your school already teaches, across Somaliland, Puntland, Somalia, Edexcel and international curricula.
Bring Layli to your school
Book a short demo in English or Somali, at a time that suits your staff. We load your own textbooks in first, so what you watch is your syllabus being taught.
