Read our Terms and Privacy PolicyHow does BantuSchools comply with Zimbabwe’s Cyber and DPA laws?
We collect only the information necessary to provide our services. Access is restricted through secure user accounts and role-based permissions. We maintain audit logs, encrypt data during transmission, and follow recognised data-security best practices. We will continue reviewing our policies as the platform grows.
Where is school data stored?
Data is securely stored on Amazon AWS cloud infrastructure. AWS provides multiple layers of protection, including encrypted HTTPS connections, secure authentication, controlled access permissions, backups, and continuous monitoring.

Is BantuSchools permanently free?
No. BantuSchools is currently free to use until at least the end of 2026 as part of our mission to help Zimbabwean schools digitise their operations. Subscription plans may be introduced later, but schools will receive advance notice before any changes. Our objective is to keep the core platform affordable and accessible.
Can our school cancel at any time?
Yes. Schools are free to discontinue using BantuSchools at any time. There are no cancellation penalties for the free version of the platform.
