KASA

Overview

The problem it solves

When a child with special needs attends school in Ghana, their progress lives in fragments — a teacher's notebook, a therapist's session file, a parent's memory of what was said at the last gate meeting. Nothing is shared in real time. When a student moves school, the record often disappears entirely.

KASA creates one shared, structured space where a student's IEP goals, therapy notes, journal entries, and progress cards are visible to every adult responsible for that child — and always accessible offline, because school labs and parents' phones rarely have reliable data connections.

Users

Who it serves

Parents

See only their linked child's progress, receive messages from teachers, and view journal entries and home activity assignments — all in their language preference.

Teachers

Log student observations, update IEP goal progress, send messages to parents, and assign home activities — directly from the mobile app, offline.

Therapists

Record therapy session notes, assign home practice, manage caseloads across multiple schools, and share resources with the classroom team.

School Admins

Manage school membership, review and approve staff and student enrolments, publish announcements, and generate term summary reports from the web PWA.

Features

What it does

Student profiles — structured records with disability category, current year, and linked staff.
IEP goal tracking — create, assign, and update Individualised Education Plan goals with progress notes from teachers and therapists.
Teacher-parent messaging — threaded, school-scoped conversations that sync across devices once connectivity is available.
Photo & video journal — media captured in school with per-item parent consent controls before sharing.
Therapy session notes — structured notes linked to goals, visible to the full care team for each student.
Home activity assignments — therapists assign activities for parents to practise at home, with completion feedback loops.
Offline write queue — every action written locally first; a sync-status indicator shows what is pending and what has been confirmed.
WhatsApp bridge (planned) — notifications reach parents on the platform they already use, for schools without smartphones.
Twi & Ewe interface (Phase 3) — the full admin and parent interface localised into Ghanaian languages.
School admin dashboard — approval queues, student summary counts, resource library, and term reporting.

Architecture

How data flows

1

Mobile writes all actions to local SQLite first via a write-ahead-log queue — the UI is always responsive regardless of connectivity.

2

The sync engine flushes the queue to Supabase when a connection is available, using updated_at last-write-wins conflict resolution for v1.

3

Row-level security in Supabase ensures parents see only their child, teachers see only assigned students, and admins see only their school.

4

The web admin PWA calls the local development API (proxied through Vite), which persists to a JSON file so create/update flows survive restarts during development.

5

All app data stays school-scoped — no cross-school visibility unless explicitly granted by the PRD access model.
