Google Sheets and App script based student management for coaching institutes
Context
Tuition teachers, coaching institutes, NGOs in the education space need to manage list of students enrolled, track collection of fees, track student and teacher attendance in classes among other things. Several commercial software options are available to do the same such as SchoolonApp, Fekara, Classe365, Fedena, MyClassCampus amongst others.
Small organizations who cannot afford these tools often rely on spreadsheets to do the same, albeit with manual intervention. Google Sheets, Google Forms and App script for custom programs are a powerful combination to achieve similar functionality.
