Data Migration
Bulk Data Import
Bring your students, staff, classes, subjects, facilities and expenses into Skoolia from CSV or Excel — with a template for each type, so your first import is not a guessing exercise.
What it solves
A Template Per Type
Download the template for what you are importing, fill it in, upload it. No reverse-engineering which columns are expected.
Six Record Types
Students, employees, classes, subjects, facilities and expenses — the records a school needs in place before anything else works.
Right People, Right Records
Each import type is limited to the roles that own it, so the finance ledger is not open to everyone who can add a student.
How It Works
Download the template
Choose what you are importing and take the matching template, with the expected columns already in place.
Fill it in and upload
Paste from the spreadsheet you already keep, then upload the CSV or Excel file in Settings.
Review the result
You get a summary of what was created and what needs attention, with a link straight to the records that were added.

What file formats can I import?
CSV and Excel. Every import type has a downloadable template with the expected columns, so you can paste from your existing spreadsheet instead of reformatting it.
What can I import?
Students, employees, classes, subjects, facilities and expenses. Between them these cover the records a school needs in place before timetabling, attendance and fees can do anything useful.
Can I export my data as well?
Yes. Export sits alongside import in Settings, with Excel, CSV and PDF formats plus pre-built templates for ministry and third-party systems.
