Academics overview
Academics covers everything from setting up an exam to publishing report cards. Go to Academics → Dashboard.
The dashboard answers the question a head of academics asks most often — is marks entry finished? Each exam shows how many subject sheets are complete, so you can chase the gaps rather than waiting for the deadline to discover them.
A term’s work, in order
Section titled “A term’s work, in order”- Set up grading — grading system, exam categories, remarks and report colours. Once per year, not once per term.
- Create the exam — name it, choose its category, pick the classes and subjects, and set the maximum marks.
- Enter marks — teachers fill their own subject sheets; an administrator can enter across all subjects.
- Analyse — check means, subject performance and outliers before anything is published.
- Comment — class teacher and head teacher comments, and termly conduct.
- Generate report cards — print, or send to parents.

Marks or rubrics?
Section titled “Marks or rubrics?”ShuleOne supports both assessment systems, and many schools run them side by side.
- Marks — a score out of a maximum, converted to a grade by the grading system. Used for 8-4-4 and for upper-grade CBC subjects that are examined numerically.
- Rubrics — a competency assessed against performance levels rather than a number. Used for CBC.
The choice is made per exam, so a school can assess Grade 3 by rubric and Form 3 by marks in the same term.
Academic issues
Section titled “Academic issues”Academics → Issues is a queue of queries raised against results — a mark that looks wrong, a missing subject, a student on the wrong sheet. Working the queue before publishing is much cheaper than reissuing report cards afterwards.
