Every number on this site, with the working
School software marketing is full of round numbers nobody can check. We publish the arithmetic, because a figure you can verify is worth more than a bigger one you cannot.
Our numbers, and the arithmetic behind them
Every figure uses the lowest end of what we actually run, so none of it needs defending.
Billed and tracked, not collected. Collection is the gap Enaton exists to close.
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 higher.
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.
We do not publish the names of our schools. A school’s finances are its own business. Where we describe one it is anonymised but specific, for example a private CBC academy in Kiambu with 780 learners.
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 say so openly because a company that would invent 1,200 reviews would invent a school count too, and you could not tell which numbers are real. This is our answer to that.
Questions about the numbers
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.
