Free for the school. Funded by a small student fee.
Every school comes on board at no cost. There is no licence to renew and no hardware to purchase. The platform is funded by a modest per-student fee each semester — set transparently with your school and collected alongside school fees.
The school pays ₵0
No software licence, no per-user pricing, no annual contract. Every module your school is approved for is included.
No infrastructure to buy
No servers, no IT team, no maintenance. Ol3n is hosted, backed up and kept secure by Obuaba Ltd. Your school just logs in.
Students pay a small termly fee
A transparent per-student, per-semester fee — agreed with your school and billed as a line on the school-fee invoice. That is the only cost, and it keeps the platform free for the school forever.
Government-funded schools: the platform stays free to the school, and parents are billed only the small student fee.
