Frequently asked questions
What is SOMA?
SOMA is a school management platform built for K-12 schools in Ethiopia. It covers student records, admissions, attendance, grades, exams, fees, and communication, all in one place.
Does SOMA work offline?
Yes. Attendance can be marked without an internet connection, and it syncs automatically once the teacher's device is back online.
Does SOMA support the Ethiopian calendar?
Yes, the Ethiopian calendar is used throughout the platform, alongside support for both Amharic and English.
Who is SOMA for?
School leaders, teachers, students, parents, registrars, and finance staff. Each role gets its own portal or view built for what they actually need to do.
How do parents pay school fees through SOMA?
Parents pay online through SOMA and get a receipt the moment the payment clears, instead of paying in person and waiting for a paper receipt.
How long does it take to set up SOMA for a school?
SOMA typically goes live in weeks, not months. The team sets up the account, configures the school year and classes, and trains staff before the school switches over.
