The Bulletin replaces the print run
A masthead with volume and dateline, a lead notice, and sections for Diary, Voices and Appeals — with RSVPs, bookmarks, threaded comments and fundraiser progress bars that paper never had.
Kampala · Est. 2026 · Vol. I
Where Ugandan schools find their voice.
A school magazine that costs nothing to print, exam results that reach families the day they are released, and an AI tutor a student can actually afford. One verified platform for schools, families and students — built for Ugandan phones, Ugandan money and Ugandan bandwidth.

Plate I — School profile, EduPress for Android
01 — Today
Print.
A termly magazine costs a school three to ten million shillings to design, print and distribute. Most of the run goes home in a schoolbag and is never opened.
02 — The gap
Gap.
A built website costs one and a half to five million, plus fifty to two hundred thousand a month to keep online. Most schools cannot justify either — so the school ends up on WhatsApp, where the algorithm decides who sees it.
03 — Closed
Closed.
EduPress closes the gap with software, not budget. The website, the magazine, the results and the tutor are one platform — free to start, and it publishes to all three surfaces at once.
You do not need a five-million-shilling website.
You do not need another print run.
You do not need to shout into a WhatsApp group and hope a parent scrolls.
You need one place your school publishes — that parents actually open.
§ 01 — The offering
Schools get a voice. Families get the truth.
Schools spend real money printing magazines that reach a fraction of their parents. The Bulletin replaces that print budget with a masthead, sections, notices and opinion pieces that reach every parent, student and alumnus with a phone — and cost nothing per copy.
Results the day they are released
Upload candidate lists, subject scores and division summaries once. Families read them in the app instantly — no printed slips, no queue at the noticeboard, no phone calls to the office.
Moderated, not unmoderated
Membership is approved, roles are assigned, and every post passes an AI policy check before a human sees the queue. Discovery stays open; participation stays behind verified access.
§ 02 — Free with registration
Your school gets a website. You do nothing.
No hosting bill, no domain to renew, no one on staff who has to know HTML. The moment a school is approved it has a public address, and every approved post is already on it. Your content in the app is your website.

Address
Live on approval
The page exists the day the school is approved — hero, logo, bio, contacts and posts, with nothing to configure.
Directory
Listed on the platform
Every active school appears in the public directory here, so families browsing EduPress find you without searching for you.
Listings
Programmes made public
Admissions, programmes and opportunities publish to /listings and stay discoverable while they are open.
Legal
Served for you
Privacy, terms and data protection are hosted at standard URLs — one less thing a school has to write.
§ 03 — The product
Three surfaces, one record.
These are the real screens, not an illustration of them. A school team publishes in the console; the same record renders on the public page and in the app.
Plate II — School admin console, recreated from Dashboard.jsx · Sidebar.jsx · PipelineBoard.jsx · PerformanceStrip.jsx · index.css
Plate III — Tyra, Ask
The console
One queue, one owner, one record
Posts, listings, events and results move through a single work queue. Nothing is published twice and nothing is published by accident — ownership rules are enforced server-side.
The app
Reading that survives a bad signal
Saved posts, saved listings and today's practice stay on the phone. Tyra will tell you plainly when it is offline rather than pretending to be online.
The website
A front door, not a brochure
Every school page, listing and event here is drawn from live platform data. No one hand-maintains this homepage, so nothing on it can quietly go stale.
§ 04 — Discover
Browse, discover, connect.
Programmes, bursaries, admissions and school-backed campaigns are all approved listings. Each type keeps a fixed colour and a mono kicker so you can tell a bursary from an advertisement at a glance.
View all listings →
§ 05 — Tyra
Learning shouldn't end at the school gate.
Tyra is a tutor, not an oracle. It shows its working, names the notes an answer rests on, and tells you when it is reasoning on its own. If it disagrees with your teacher, it says so — and tells you to trust the teacher.
Tutor
Walks you through it, one step at a time.
Reflect
Asks you the questions instead of answering. Nothing is marked.
Exam
Past-paper drilling against the clock, one question at a time.
“The numbers and the syllabus wording come from these. The explanation is Tyra's own — if it disagrees with your notes, trust the notes and tell us.”
Shown on every sourced answer
§ 06 — Who it is for
One platform. Four ways in.
Schools
Publish once, appear everywhere
The Bulletin, exam results, events, sections and a moderated community — from one console, on a Basic or Premium plan billed monthly, termly or yearly.
Students
Learn, connect, keep up
A personalised feed, school communities, quizzes and Tyra — with saved reading and today’s practice available offline when the signal goes.
Parents
Close the information gap
Link to your child’s account, read results the day they are published, and get reminders before the parent-teacher meeting rather than after it.
Education businesses
Reach the right families
List programmes, admissions and services in the hubs families already browse, take applications in-app, and build trust through reviews.
§ 07 — Built for here
Ugandan phones. Ugandan money. Ugandan bandwidth.
Most education software assumes a card, a laptop and a good connection. EduPress assumes none of those, because assuming them is how a platform ends up unused.
Payments
Mobile money first
MTN Mobile Money and Airtel Money for school subscriptions and Tyra Premium, with Flutterwave for cards and bank transfer where a school prefers it.
Connectivity
Works when the signal does not
Saved posts, saved listings and today’s practice stay on the phone. The app tells you plainly that it is offline instead of failing silently.
Data
Sized for a paid bundle
Data-efficient by design — the app is built to be affordable to actually use, not just to install.
Trust
Locked down by default
Certificate pinning, encrypted token storage, biometric login and screen-capture prevention on sensitive screens. Every admin action is written to an audit log.
Already speaks your paperwork
Built around the exams, the money and the schools that actually exist here.
Nothing on this list is on a roadmap. The results engine, the payment rails and the school taxonomy shipped because a Ugandan school needed them.

Billed monthly, termly (four months) or annually — annual saves up to 17%. Paid by MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, card via Flutterwave, or bank transfer. Students can add Tyra Premium for 15,000 UGX a month , less than one private tutoring session.
“The last issue of your print magazine cost more than a year of EduPress.”
A termly print run costs a school 3–10m UGX in design, printing and distribution. A built website costs 1.5–5m to set up and 50–200k a month to keep online. Pro is 750,000 UGX for the year.
§ 09 — Education businesses
List once. Reach every school on the platform.
Tutoring centres, training providers, scholarship funds and schools recruiting staff all list in the same Discover hubs that families already browse. Applications arrive in the platform — no paper forms, no separate inbox.
Paid placement is labelled
Featured carousel slots come with the Max 5x and Max 20x plans. Promotions and adverts always carry a gold marker and the words paid placement — families can tell a bursary from an advert at a glance, which is why they trust the listings.
Applications, not enquiries
Students and parents apply inside the app. You receive and process applications on the platform rather than chasing email threads.
Reviews you have earned
Verified users rate and review what they actually used. For a new provider, that is the fastest route to being believed.
Targeted by level, not by guesswork
Filter your reach by education level, location and hub category, so a nursery programme is not shown to A-level candidates.

Detailed profiles with rich media for centres, tutors and suppliers.

§ 10 — Questions
Frequently asked
What does the public website do?+
It is the front door. Schools are discovered here and families browse listings and events — everything visible has already been verified. The reading, saving and learning continue in the Android app.
What does it cost a school?+
Schools subscribe on a Basic or Premium plan, billed monthly, termly or yearly, and pay by MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, card or bank transfer. Set against what a school currently spends printing a termly magazine, most find it is the cheaper line item.
Can inactive schools show up here?+
No. Only active, approved schools appear publicly. Visibility is tied to platform status, not to what a school says about itself.
Is the website replacing the app?+
Not at all. Discovery starts here. Feeds, saved listings, community and Tyra practice happen daily in the app, and much of it works without a signal.
How does school content get here?+
School teams publish through the admin console. Approved content flows automatically to the public site, the school profile and the mobile app — no duplicate work.
