What's new on MySchoolPortal
Every change we make to the platform, module by module: what it does, who it is for, and how schools, parents, teachers and learners use it.
October 2026
Face recognition at the gate with an ordinary camera
The gate screen can now recognise learners by face, using a phone or webcam. No card and no terminal needed.
For schools
Fingerprint and face terminals at the gate
Schools with ZKTeco fingerprint or face terminals can connect them to the portal. Each punch at the terminal is a check-in, and parents are told straight away.
For schools
Gate attendance with ID cards and parent SMS
Learners check in and out at the school gate with their ID card. Parents get an SMS each time, with a photo from the gate if the school takes one.
For schools and parents
A public page and sign-in for each academy
Each online academy gets its own public page, written by the academy, with its subjects, plans and how to join.
For online academies
Pay by period, then choose subjects
Online academies can now charge for a period of days instead of per subject. Students pay once, then join any of the academy's subjects for that period.
For online academies and learners
Homework, online exams and the homework helper for academies
Online academies now have the same homework, online exams, homework helper and Explore library that schools use.
For online academies, teachers and learners
Live lessons follow the timetable
Teachers can start a lesson from 15 minutes before its time. A lesson not started within 30 minutes is cancelled and the students are told.
