GCE
GCE registration, in the system that already holds the student
Registering a class for the Cameroon GCE means collecting subject choices from families, pricing each entry correctly, taking the money, and reconciling it. DIGISCHOOL does that where the students already are.
A worked example of one entry, not a real candidate.
Five steps
How a session runs
From the session the school opens to the candidate number the Board issues, every step happens on the record the school already keeps.
-
1
The school opens a session
Ordinary or Advanced Level, with the registration window and the fee scale for that year. Amounts live in the database, not in the code, because the Board revises them by circular and a school on an old build must still be able to charge the new scale.
-
2
The parent enters their own child
They see the children they have in an examination class, the subjects available at that level, and the fee changing as they tick. The bursary never types a family's subject choices.
-
3
The Board's rules are checked on the server
The form checks them as you tick, and the server checks them again on submission. A crafted request is refused the same way a wrong click is.
-
4
Payment by Mobile Money
With no MoMo credentials configured, DIGISCHOOL creates the payment reference and the USSD instructions, and the entry stays awaiting payment until somebody with the right permission confirms the money arrived. It never claims a payment it has not seen, and confirming twice does not credit twice.
-
5
Confirmation and the candidate number
The bursary confirms the entry and records the candidate number the Board issues. The family is told at every step in their portal inbox, with a WhatsApp copy queued alongside.
Checked twice
The subject rules, as enforced
Your bursary sets the fee scale per session (registration, per subject, per practical, franking), and submission freezes the total onto the entry, so editing the scale later cannot re-price a family who has already been told what to pay.
| Rule | Ordinary Level | Advanced Level |
|---|---|---|
| Subjects | 6 to 11 | 3 or more |
| Compulsory | English Language, French, Mathematics | None |
| Eleventh subject | Religious Studies only | Not applicable |
Not every school sits the GCE
A francophone school sits the BEPC, the Probatoire and the Baccalauréat, and a technical one the CAP. See which examinations end which ladder.
Set up your school and look around
Registration creates an empty school that only you can see. Nothing is shared with any other school on the platform, and there is nothing to cancel.
