Education Core — product screenshot to be added

The base layer for the Ikwa suite — and a powerful platform on its own.

Education Core is the backbone for Ikwa's other higher-education applications, but it can also be deployed as a standalone solution. Institutions use its base functions — the Up Portal, shared data tables, and integrated booking system — to extend and customise their digital ecosystem to meet unique needs.
