School administration can be streamlined and improved immeasurably through enhanced communications and software integrations. Almost everyone has a mobile phone, and even the most basic mobile phones have the capacity to both send and receive SMS text messages.

Using SMS for administration in education is the most appropriate and convenient way to communicate with the school or other educational institution's community: parents, teachers, students, and other staff.

SMS for Teachers, Schools and Communities

No matter the type of educational institution, you can use SMS text messaging to keep all parties informed of developments or last minute changes. Education text messaging can be applied to preschools, primary and secondary schools, universities, TAFE colleges, learning centres, community colleges, and other training and educational facilities.
