Taking school admissions online

The form, documents, the admission fee, assessments and offers, with parents kept informed at each step.

Paper admission forms get lost, and parents who call during busy weeks often never hear back. An online admission process gives every applicant the same experience and every application a clear next step.

1. One form, shared everywhere

Ask for what you need to decide: the child’s details and the class they want, the parent’s phone number, previous school, and documents such as a birth certificate. Share the link on WhatsApp, Facebook and your website.

2. The admission fee

If you charge a form or admission fee, let parents pay it by MoMo or card as they apply, so only serious applications come through and nobody has to chase payment.

3. Stages everyone can see

Move each application through clear stages: new, reviewing, assessment, offered, enrolled. The office should see at a glance how many are at each stage.

4. Keep parents informed

Tell the parent when you have received the application, when the assessment is, and when you make an offer. A parent who knows what is happening does not need to call.

5. From offer to learner

When a parent accepts an offer, the applicant should become a learner in your records without anyone retyping their details.

How Fusadems does it

Fusadems gives every school an online application form (edited with the form builder), takes the admission fee by MoMo or card, shows applications by stage, emails parents at each step, and lets parents accept an offer online. Enrolled applicants become learners straight away.

Questions schools ask

Can parents apply to a school online in Ghana?

Yes. Schools can share an online application form; parents fill it in on their phone, upload documents such as a birth certificate and pay any admission fee by MoMo or card.
