Quran academy management: tracking hifz progress, fees and attendance

A Quran academy has two jobs that must both be recorded well: the student's progress in memorisation and revision, and the ordinary business of fees, attendance and staff. Many academies track the first on paper and the second in a notebook. Here is a cleaner way.

Daily lesson records

For each student, record the new lesson (sabaq), the recent revision (sabqi) and the long revision (manzil) every day, with the teacher's remark. Over a month this shows who is steady, who is slipping and where a student needs more attention.

Progress parents can understand

Parents want to know where their child is. A simple summary of how many paras are complete, what is in progress and how revision is going is enough. Share it regularly, not only when a problem appears.

Batches and teachers

Group students into classes by level or timing, and assign each to a teacher. When a teacher is absent, the substitute should see the same records.

Attendance

Mark attendance for every session. Repeated absence is often the first sign of a student losing interest or a family problem, so a weekly list of the most absent students is useful.

Fees

Set a monthly fee per student, with discounts for siblings or for students who cannot pay in full. Issue a receipt for each payment and review unpaid fees once a week. Keep the tone respectful, because many families give what they can.

Staff and salaries

Record teachers' attendance and run salaries monthly from the same record, so each person is paid for the days worked.

Where software helps

A system built for academies keeps progress records, batches, attendance, fees and staff in one place, and shows the head of the academy the whole picture on one screen.
