How many schools use Enaton?

More than 100 schools across Kenya. We publish 100+ rather than a precise figure because the number moves, and a stale precise number is worse than an honest floor.

How many learners are on Enaton?

More than 30,000. That is 100 schools multiplied by 300 learners, which is the smallest school size we serve. Most of our schools are larger, so the real figure is higher.

How much in school fees is billed through Enaton each year?

More than KES 1.8 billion. That is 100 schools billing at least KES 6 million a term across three terms. It is what schools bill and track through Enaton, not what they collect.

Why do you say billed and tracked rather than collected?

Because they are different numbers, and the gap between them is the problem Enaton exists to close. Claiming we collect KES 1.8 billion would be false, and it would also sell against our own argument.

Trust

Every number on this site, with the working

School software marketing is full of round numbers nobody can check. We would rather publish the arithmetic and let you check it, because a figure you can verify is worth more than a bigger one you cannot.

Learners sitting an examination at wooden desks in a full East African classroom — The smallest school we serve carries 300 learners. Every figure on this page is built from that floor rather than an average, and no school is named.

How we count

Our numbers, and the arithmetic behind them

Every figure on this site uses the lowest end of what we actually run, so none of it needs defending. Here is the working.

Schools running Enaton 100+

Smallest school we serve 300 learners

Learners, counted at the floor 100 x 300 = 30,000

Parents and guardians per learner, measured 1.71

Parents and guardians reachable 30,000 x 1.71 = 51,300

Lowest fees billed, per school per term KES 6,000,000

Billed and tracked each year 100 x 6M x 3 = KES 1.8B

Billed and tracked, not collected. Collection is the gap this platform exists to close, and pretending otherwise would be the opposite of the point.

The rule

We publish the floor, not the flattering number

Every input above is the lowest end of its real range. We serve schools from 300 to 900 learners, so the learner count uses 300. Schools on Enaton bill between KES 6 million and KES 24 million a term, so the billing figure uses 6 million. The true totals are meaningfully higher than what we publish.

The one figure that is not a floor is the parent ratio. 1.71 parents and guardians per learner is measured from a live school, where 695 learners carried 1,188 parent records. We then rounded the result down.

There is one thing we deliberately do not publish, and that is the names of the schools we work with. A school’s finances are its own business, and we are not willing to trade a client’s privacy for a logo wall. Where we describe a school it is anonymised but specific, for example a private CBC academy in Kiambu with 780 learners.

What we will not do

No invented reviews, ever

An earlier version of this website published a customer rating of 4.9 out of 5 from 1,200 reviews. Those reviews did not exist. We removed it, and we will not publish a rating again unless it comes from real, named, verifiable reviews.

We are telling you this rather than quietly fixing it, because a company that will invent 1,200 reviews will invent a school count too, and you have no way to tell which numbers on a website are real. This is our answer to that problem.
