Waking up at 5:30 AM to find replacements when a teacher calls in sick.
The same teachers take every extra duty. Everyone knows it. Nobody says anything.
Instructions sent via WhatsApp at 6 AM. The relief teacher saw it. Or didn't. No way to know until the lesson starts.
A teacher gets assigned relief for Period 3. Nobody checked she already has a class. The class finds out before admin does.
A parent calls to ask why their child's class had no teacher for two periods. You have no record of what happened or who was responsible.
Every exam season, the invigilation roster gets rebuilt from scratch. Same conflicts. Same complaints. Same week-before panic.
From morning absence to confirmed coverage — no manual coordination, no group messages, no spreadsheets.

01 — Absence logged 06:43 AM
MC reported. SchoolZest identifies every affected period, class, and subject — no manual checking required.
02 — Smart matching engine
Free period, subject fit, relief quota, and workload balance — all factored. The HOD sees ranked options, not a raw list.
03 — One click
Teacher notified via WhatsApp, lesson materials attached, and every action written to a tamper-evident audit trail.
Not a feature catalogue. The three capabilities built specifically around how Singapore schools operate day to day.
From absence reported to teacher assigned — in under two minutes. Quota-aware, subject-aware, workload-balanced. No more calling around or group messages.
Fairness enforced by design
Invigilation rosters built automatically. Break rules, consecutive duty limits, and venue constraints respected from the start. Every exam season, in minutes.
Auto-roster with constraint logic
Your existing timetable syncs directly. No double-booking. No teacher assigned to two classes. Conflicts caught before they reach the classroom.
API sync with existing systems
Notifies via
Teachers get notified on the channel they already use. No behaviour change required from staff.
Not a generic HR tool adapted for schools. SchoolZest is designed around MOE school structures, Singapore's data protection requirements, and the operational reality of a school admin's morning.
All school and staff data resides on Singapore servers. No cross-border transfers. Full visibility of where your data sits.
Staff personal data handled in strict accordance with Singapore’s Personal Data Protection Act. Role-based access means staff only see what they need to.
Admin · HOD · Teacher · EXCOEvery assignment, change, and override is logged with a timestamp and user ID. When a parent asks why their child’s class was unattended, you have the answer.
SHA-256 Hash Chain · MFA · Brute-Force LockPeriod formats, academic calendar, partial-day absences, and Express/Normal/IP stream logic built in. No configuration required to reflect how your school actually runs.
Everything above is verifiable. We'll show you the audit log, the data hosting, and the PDPA documentation in the demo.
