School Fees Management in Uganda
How Ugandan schools handle fees, why manual tracking fails, and what good fees software looks like.
In short: School fees management in Uganda means invoicing students per term, recording payments by cash, bank and mobile money, and knowing exactly who has paid and who owes. Purpose-built fees software automates this - SwiftPlus generates per-student invoices, records every payment with a receipt and tracks balances in real time, from UGX 500 per student per term.
