The document discusses a proposed SchoolReport platform that would allow students, parents, journalists, and NGOs to:
1) Report problems at schools like broken facilities and issues directly from the source.
2) View performance metrics and comments about specific schools to evaluate their quality.
3) Upload issues and complaints about topics like teacher numbers, facilities, textbooks, abuse, fees, and crime.
The goal is to make education system problems more visible, empower students to voice their concerns, and give outsiders direct access to on-the-ground school issues.

Report Your Eye on Education
The Problem:
- There is a crisis in the education system.
- Learners dont feel they have ownership over their
education, and power to address the issues that exist.
- The crisis is largely invisible, as it unfolds in township
and rural schools.
