(Business in Cameroon) - An online platform and mobile application allowing parents to have access, in real time via the web, to the grades achieved by their wards at school; the student’s learning curve in the different subjects; the number of hours the student was absent from class; the details on all the homework; instant alerts on new grades, late arrivals for class, absences and test papers; or directly exchange with the school board on the student’s behaviour, etc.

These are some of the features of Sukuloo (which means school in Cameroonian local languages), a platform for academic monitoring developed by the Cameroonian start-up Infosys Group. According to its sponsors, with Sukuloo, the educational community and parents now have at their disposition a tool through which they can interact to fight “school failure and dropout”.

Finalist candidate during the first edition of Total Cameroun’s Challenge Startupper with the platform Sukuloo, Infosys Group ensures the rollout of this tool in schools and trains personnel on its use. It is then the responsibility of the schools, high schools and other partner universities to market this service to parents and enter the necessary information. In areas where there is no internet connection, the information can be sent to the parents via SMS, thanks to the call centre set up by Sukuloo’s sponsors.
