Rural School Parent Communication and Enrollment Platform
The Opportunity
Government schools in rural areas (like KPS Magnet School in Honganuru) face severe enrollment challenges due to poor parent-school communication, lack of awareness about new initiatives, and difficulty addressing parent concerns systematically. Parents stage protests due to feeling unheard, while school administrators struggle to manage feedback loops and build community trust.
