SchoolShare: Employer-Subsidized Education Cooperative

A B2B2C cooperative that aggregates Nigerian employers (banks, telecoms, logistics firms, manufacturing) to pre-fund school fees for their employees' children in bulk, negotiating 15-25% discounts with partner schools while reducing administrative burden on HR departments. Parents enroll through their employer; the employer pays SchoolShare a monthly per-child fee (₦8,000–₦12,000/month), SchoolShare pools funds and pays schools quarterly, and schools get guaranteed cash flow without chasing individual parents.

SERVICE

48 weeks • 70% confidence

Value Proposition

Employers reduce HR burden (no individual fee tracking), gain employee retention tool, and offer tangible welfare; schools get predictable revenue and lower default rates; parents pay 30-40% less than retail fees and spread cost across payroll. Beats payment plans because it's employer-backed, not parent-dependent.

Mid-to-large Nigerian employers (500+ staff) in formal sectors; schools with 200+ students; parents employed in these organizations

Key Features

  • Employer dashboard showing per-employee school fee deductions and employee satisfaction metrics
  • School admin portal tracking cohort enrollment, payment schedules, and student performance reporting
  • Parent mobile app (USSD + SMS fallback) confirming fee payment status and school communications
  • And more, with full implementation detail...

Tech Stack

Payroll system APIs (Bamboo HR, Workday, or CSV import handlers) Payment gateway (Flutterwave, Paystack) for school disbursements USSD platform (Termii, Afrimax) for parent SMS/USSD notifications Web stack (React, Node.js, PostgreSQL) for employer/school dashboards

Original Problem

Parents unable to afford quality education due to unaffordable school fees

Nigerian parents face a critical dilemma during school resumption: they cannot afford rapidly increasing school fees while simultaneously worrying about their children's safety in educational institutions. Current solutions like payment plans or financial aid are insufficient, leaving parents forced to either deprioritize education, pull children out of school, or face severe financial strain.
