What Academics & curriculum fixes

Where schools usually struggle, and what changes.

  • Problem: Timetable changes that break the week

    With School Niva: Every change shows its effect on rooms, teachers and coverage before it's published.

Safeguards

Safeguards built into Academics & curriculum

Class lists and learner details attached to plans follow each person's permissions.

It always

  • Follows the curriculum your school chooses
  • Shows teacher workload before allocations are confirmed
  • Keeps every published timetable version

It never

  • Publishes a timetable no one approved
  • Publishes an AI-drafted lesson without teacher review

Where AI helps

The timetable assistant suggests solutions and explains clashes. Lesson assistance drafts from your approved material. People decide what is published.
