Introduction to the school:

Natalia Jouravliova, from the accounting department of the Lycée Français Alexandre Dumas, contributes daily to the prestige of the French school in Moscow, which is an integral part of the AEFE network with more than 500 students. “We are a growing school,” explains Natalia.

“Our mission is to offer an exceptional educational experience while maintaining efficient administrative management.” – Natalia J.

English learning begins at 4 years old, and Russian at 3 years old. The baccalaureate diploma earned is recognized worldwide, facilitating further studies in France, Russia, or internationally. In addition, the establishment cooperates with bilingual schools to enrich its educational offer. For more details, visit their website.

Challenges Before Eduka:

The software prior to Eduka posed a labyrinth of challenges that Natalia and her team had to overcome. Creating accurate financial reports for specific dates was a headache, and managing payment histories was an uphill battle. “It wasn’t possible to add data for previous dates” Natalia recalls, illustrating the frustrating limitations of the previous system. Billing was a trial, devoid of efficient verification of quantities or rates. “It wasn’t possible to establish a summary table of invoices,” she adds, highlighting the lack of synthesis tools. Furthermore, data was so compartmentalized that finding a student by their parents’ name was a real challenge.

The Metamorphosis with Eduka:

Eduka initiated a true revolution in the management of the school. The software provided a solution to existing problems. “The possibility of extracting data in Excel format for verification across all modules was a significant breakthrough” reveals Natalia. The ability to add data retroactively, simplified access to student and parent information, and seamless transitions between modules have transformed the school’s administration. Eduka offered the flexibility needed to adjust financial data and create new fee structures.

“The ease of creating new charges for billing allows us to respond agilely to the needs of our institution” specifies Natalia.

The school today:

Since adopting Eduka, Natalia has seen substantial improvements in her work processes. She expresses appreciation for the ease of learning and the user-friendliness of the software, which allows her to establish new habits among parents to independently use Eduka.

“I am working to establish habits so that students’ parents can find out information for themselves through Eduka”

“I am working to establish habits so that students’ parents can find out information for themselves through Eduka”, says Natalia, envisioning a future where Eduka becomes an essential information portal for the community.

The Eduka Support Experience:

The support and guidance from Eduka proved invaluable during the transition. “I think we have made a good choice,” declares Natalia. Each feature appears to have been designed with intuitive logic, making the use of the software natural and immediately suited to the requirements of her position. “Everything seems logical and easy to use,” she adds, testifying to the successful transition to Eduka.
