A Teacher Platform for Student Performance Tracking and Classroom Management
In many parts of Nepal, teachers lack access to structured digital tools for managing classrooms and tracking student progress. I designed a centralized system to simplify workflows and bring visibility to student performance.

Teachers in low-resource environments don’t have a structured way to manage classrooms, track student progress, or stay consistent in how they teach.
Most of their work is manual, scattered across notebooks and records, and takes more time than it should.
