One app for the people who teach in the Maldives, and the families who trust them with their children.
Tuition in the Maldives runs on WhatsApp groups, notebooks and memory. A teacher marks a register on paper and copies it out later. A parent asks how their child is doing and gets an answer three days after the class. A month's fees are worked out at the end of the month, from memory, and nobody has a receipt.
None of that is anyone's fault. The software that exists was built for schools in other countries, priced for them, and written in a language half the families here do not read comfortably. So teachers do it by hand, because by hand at least works.
Kiyevun started from one measurement: how long a teacher will actually spend on admin at the end of a class. The answer is about thirty seconds. Anything longer gets skipped, and software that gets skipped is worse than none, because now the record is half true.
Exam preparation free for every student
Notes, a study plan built from real exam dates, practice questions, the Dhivehi glossary and the Qur'an section are free, at every level, to anyone who signs up. Not a trial. Ability to pay should not decide which child gets notes.
Thirty seconds, not five minutes
Attendance for a whole class, plus the topic taught, in one screen and one tap each. If the after-class flow ever grows past that, the feature is wrong, not the teacher.
Teachers keep their own fees
Fees paid to a teacher go to that teacher. We record them and produce a receipt; we do not sit in the middle of the money. We charge teachers a flat monthly fee for the software and nothing on top of what they earn.
Dhivehi first, not Dhivehi later
The app is written to be read in Dhivehi, right to left, by parents who prefer it. That is not a translation added at the end; it changes how screens are built.
Kiyevun is early and built in the open with the teachers using it. If something is wrong, or missing, or simply annoying, tell us — that is how most of what is here got made.
