Sanaa EdTech OS
Sanaa EdTech OS – The Learning Rail that Connects Devices, Data & DreamsKampala, July 2025 —
When we launched Sanaa Finance, people thought we were “just another fintech.” Then came Soko 24 for digital street shops, and the picture widened. Today we’re adding the missing piece: an EdTech operating system that turns every classroom—urban or rural—into a connected, data-driven learning hub.
1 | Why an EdTech OS?
Fragmented tools: Schools juggle Google Classroom, WhatsApp groups, paper gradebooks and mobile-money fees—all in silos.
Hardware without software: Laptop-distribution programs stall when there’s no central platform for exams, analytics and updates.
Inclusion gap: 60 % of East-African learners still share devices or rely on cyber cafés.
EdTech OS solves these at the operating-system layer—bundling identity, content delivery, assessment, device management and payments into one seamless stack.
2 | What’s Inside
Module TL;DR Built-in super-power
Sanaa ID Biometric + document KYC (the same flow that powers Sanaa Finance). One login works for fees, exams & certification.
Classroom Cloud LMS for video, SCORM, quizzes, peer chat. Offline sync lets rural tablets pull new lessons during brief 4G bursts.
Exam Vault Secure test delivery & auto-grading. Questions auto-download 5 h pre-test; devices lock down for the 5-hour window.
Device Fleet MDM for laptops, tablets & AIO PCs. Push OS updates, restrict apps, geofence stolen devices.
Edu-Pay Stripe-simple fees & BNPL for hardware. Parents can pay in instalments or redeem loyalty data bundles from Sanaa Media.
Insight Engine Real-time dashboards for teachers, district inspectors & ministry HQ. ML flags at-risk students and optimises content pacing.
All of it surfaces behind a Montserrat-clean UI and the quiet signature footer: “By Sanaa.”
3 | Pilot Proof-Points
1 Student 1 Computer, DRC – 50 000 laptops under management; 94 % exam-session uptime.
Uganda Maker Spaces – Tablets running EdTech OS slashed grading latency from 3 days to 30 minutes.
Offline-first districts – Kyangwali Refugee Settlement pulls 2 GB of lessons nightly via solar micro-edge nodes.

4 | Roadmap (Next 12 Months)
Q3 2025 Q4 2025 Q1 2026 Q2 2026
Launch Sanaa Classroom SDK for third-party content. Roll out Edu-Pay Cards (co-branded student debit). Open App Store for Teachers – micro-apps, STEM sims, local language packs. Expand to Rwanda & Tanzania; integrate with NECTA & REB exam boards.
5 | Why This Matters
Equity at scale – A village school deserves the same analytics dashboard as a capital-city private academy.
Data-driven policy – Ministries finally see real-time attendance, performance and device health.
Sustainable economics – Hardware BNPL plus transaction fees create a flywheel that funds continuous updates.
