Skuul school management system

In search of good school management systems written in laravel, I tried so many although most were quite remarkably good they lacked some essential features that I would have loved in a school management system.This made me passionate in building my own school management system. Although it has been difficult, it's actually forming up into a quite useable project.

CONGRATS V2 OF SKUUL IS OUT

Skuul is awesome, but it had a few shortcomings when it came to some areas like UI speed and application slugishness as it grows. Version 2 fixes these issues and also improves on accessibility.

V2 is way faster and doesn't slow down condiderably as the app grows. Also upgrading should be relatively easy. Requirements remain the same with one exception, we now require node for asset bundling. No worries if you don't have node, there is a solution to that

Skuul is a multi school management system that aims to make school administration and activities a breeze by using the power of the internet and increased connectinity
