The right school software should help with the work your staff face every week. For teachers, that means preparing useful lessons and checking what students understand. For principals, it means keeping classes organised and bringing results together at the end of term.
Rubriix brings lesson preparation, assessments and school reports together for Nigerian basic and secondary schools. If those are the areas you want to improve, it deserves a place at the top of your shortlist.
This guide explains why you might choose Rubriix and gives a simple overview of SAFSIMS, Edves and FlexiSAF, so you can decide what fits your school.
Why choose Rubriix for your school?
Rubriix starts with something your teachers already know: the school’s scheme of work. From there, it supports the journey from preparing a lesson to assessing students and producing their reports.
That connection is the reason to consider Rubriix. You can organise teaching around the classes, subjects and terms your school already runs, and give staff a shared way to prepare and review their work.
Give teachers a starting point for every lesson
Preparing lessons takes thought, even when a teacher knows the subject well. Rubriix prepares lesson notes with explanations, worked examples and practice questions from your school’s scheme of work.
Teachers review and edit the material before using it. They can adapt an explanation to their class, choose the examples they want to teach and decide where students need more practice. The aim is to support lesson preparation while keeping the teacher in control.
Keep assessments connected to what was taught
Rubriix supports class tests and assignments linked to teaching topics. Teachers can review student attempts and scores as part of the same school routine.
For schools with a computer lab, Rubriix also has a dedicated computer-based testing (CBT) app. Schools can use class tests and assignments even when a CBT lab is not part of their plans.
Finish the term with reports that belong to your school
Rubriix produces school-branded report cards, class sheets and whole-class results summaries. Your school can set its grading rules and report layout, then prepare printable reports for parents.
For a principal, this makes the end-of-term goal clear: a report that reflects the school’s subjects, grading and identity. For a teacher, the results remain connected to the classes they teach.

How does Rubriix compare with other school software?
School software covers different needs. Some schools are looking for teaching support; others need fee collection, parent communication or university student records. Start with the work you want to improve, then compare the relevant features.
| Option | What it offers | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Rubriix | Lesson notes from your scheme of work, class tests, CBT exams and school-branded reports | A strong fit when your priority is supporting teachers and organising academic work in a basic or secondary school |
| SAFSIMS | School administration, fee management, parent communication and academic tools | Consider the features included in the plan your school would use |
| Edves | Teaching tools, assessments, results, school fees and accounting | Consider whether your school needs a wider package covering both academic and financial work |
| FlexiSAF | A family of education products, including SAFSIMS for basic and secondary schools and SAFrecords for higher education | Ask about the specific product suited to your type of institution |
SAFSIMS is part of the FlexiSAF family. For further details, see the official SAFSIMS, Edves and FlexiSAF websites. Features and plans can change; confirm what is included before choosing.
When is Rubriix the right fit?
Put Rubriix high on your shortlist if your school wants to:
- Support lesson preparation: give teachers notes, examples and practice questions based on the scheme of work.
- Organise academic work: keep classes, subjects and terms together so staff work from the same school structure.
- Assess students regularly: use class tests and assignments, with CBT available for schools that need it.
- Prepare consistent reports: use the school’s own grading rules and branding for end-of-term reports.
For example, imagine preparing for a new term. The administrator organises classes and subjects. A teacher reviews the lesson notes for the coming week and adapts them for the class. Students complete an assessment, staff review the results, and those results contribute to term reporting. These are the everyday jobs Rubriix is built to support.
If fee collection, payroll or university transcripts are your main requirement, ask about those separately. Rubriix focuses on teaching, assessments and reports; those other services are outside its current offering.
What should you ask about pricing?
Ask for a quote that matches your school’s needs. Explain the classes you teach, the number of teachers and students, and whether you want to include CBT exams.
Rubriix provides pricing through a conversation with the team. You can explain what you want help with and ask what the proposed setup includes before making a decision.
When comparing options, look beyond the headline price. Ask about setup, staff training, support and the features included in the plan. A useful quote should make clear what your school will receive and what it will pay.
See how Rubriix would work in your school
The best way to evaluate Rubriix is to start with your school’s own work. Bring a topic from your scheme of work and a sample of the report card you want to produce. Ask the team to walk you through lesson preparation, assessments and reports, and discuss the devices your staff will use.
Include a teacher as well as an administrator in that conversation. Both should be able to see where Rubriix would help them during the term.
