Most parents in Nepal care deeply about their child's schooling and have very little visibility into the day-to-day of it. The information arrives in two unhelpful extremes: nothing for weeks, then a report card that is already too late to act on. The parent digest is meant to live in the calm middle — a regular, readable picture of how a child is doing, while there is still time to help.
A digest, not a firehose
We deliberately did not build a live feed that pings a parent every time their child answers a question. That would be noise, and noise gets ignored. Instead, parents receive a periodic digest: a short, gentle summary of attendance, homework, areas of progress, and topics their child found difficult. It is designed to be read in a couple of minutes and understood at a glance.
What a parent sees
- Whether their child has been attending and keeping up with homework
- Subjects and topics going well, and one or two that need attention
- A simple sense of effort over the period, not just a single grade
- Enough to start a useful conversation at home — no jargon required
Written for every parent
The digest is available in नेपाली as well as English, because a summary a parent cannot comfortably read is no summary at all. We keep the language plain and free of edu-jargon. A parent who never finished school themselves should be able to understand exactly how their child is doing and what might help.
Closeness, with the right boundaries
Staying close is not the same as watching everything. Parents see their own children, and the digest reports on progress and effort rather than exposing every private exchange a student had with the tutor. Learning needs a little room to be imperfect; a student should be able to get something wrong on the way to getting it right without it becoming a report home.
The aim: a better conversation at home
We measure this feature by a modest standard. If the digest helps a parent ask their child a better question at dinner — 'how is trigonometry going this week?' instead of 'are you studying?' — it has done its job. School and home pulling in the same direction is one of the strongest things a student can have, and a clear, calm digest is a small way to make that easier.
