Education in Nepal is evolving — but the administrative backbone of most schools and colleges hasn't kept up. Attendance is still tracked on paper registers. Fee receipts are handwritten. Parents find out about their child's performance only on report card day. Teachers spend valuable hours on tasks that should take minutes. ZilFox is changing this with ShikZya — an all-in-one Education Management System built specifically for Nepal's institutions.
What is ShikZya?
ShikZya (शिक्ष्या — from the Sanskrit/Nepali root for 'education') is a fully integrated platform that brings together every function of a school or college into one seamless system. Designed from the ground up for Nepal's educational context — our curriculum structure, grading systems, fee collection methods, and communication needs — ShikZya is not a foreign product retrofitted for Nepal. It is built here, for here.
Complete School & College Administration
ShikZya handles the full administrative lifecycle of an institution. Student enrollment, class assignment, and profile management. Staff and teacher records, including qualifications, attendance, and payroll. Academic calendar management with timetable generation. Exam scheduling, mark entry, and automated result processing. Grade book management with customizable grading scales for both +2 and university-level institutions. Everything an administrator needs — in one dashboard, accessible from any device.
Student Portal: Learning Made Visible
Every student gets their own secure portal — accessible via web or mobile. Students can view their timetable, check attendance records, download study materials uploaded by teachers, see upcoming exam schedules, and access their results and progress reports the moment they are published. No more waiting. No more uncertainty. ShikZya gives students real-time visibility into their own academic journey.
Parent Portal: Stay Connected, Always
For parents, ShikZya delivers peace of mind. Through the parent portal, guardians can check their child's daily attendance — with instant SMS or app notification if their child is absent. They can view exam results, fee payment history, outstanding dues, school announcements, and communicate directly with teachers. Parents no longer need to visit the school to stay informed. ShikZya brings the school to them.
Fee Management & Digital Payments
ShikZya's fee management module eliminates the chaos of manual fee collection. Institutions can configure fee structures by class, generate invoices automatically, accept payments via eSewa, Khalti, bank transfer, or cash (with digital receipt generation), track outstanding balances, and generate detailed financial reports. For parents, paying fees is as simple as opening their phone. For administrators, monthly reconciliation that used to take days now takes minutes.
Teacher Tools That Save Time
ShikZya is built with teachers in mind. Digital attendance takes seconds — mark a class with one tap on a tablet or phone. Assignment creation and submission tracking happens within the platform. Mark entry is simple and generates report cards automatically — no more manual compilation. Teachers can communicate with students and parents directly through ShikZya's messaging system, keeping personal phone numbers private. Less time on administration. More time on teaching.
Launching Soon — Be Among the First
ShikZya is currently in final development and will be launching in Nepal soon. We are onboarding early institutions for a pilot program — schools and colleges that join early will receive priority support, discounted pricing, and direct input into the product's feature roadmap. If you run a school, college, or educational institution in Nepal and want to be part of Nepal's education revolution, reach out to us today. ShikZya is coming — and education in Nepal will never be the same.
