In a remarkable tale of innovation, resilience, and genius, Ghanaian software engineer Kwadwo Dwomo II, a self-taught software architecture maestro, together with his co- founders and partners, are poised to change the global education landscape forever. From a modest workspace in Kumasi, Mr. Kwadwo Dwomo II has created SchoolBook—the world’s first AI-powered parent-teacher communication platform, designed to shatter the long-standing wall between homes and classrooms.
Set for a grand launch this September in Ghana, SchoolBook is already being dubbed the "WhatsApp for Schools"—but it’s far more sophisticated. The platform promises real-time academic transparency, smart communication tools, and AI-driven educational insights, all with the singular goal of creating a partnership between parents and educators that’s never been seen before.
The idea for SchoolBook didn’t come from a Silicon Valley think tank or a Fortune 500 boardroom. It was born from a simple, frustrating observation.
“I overheard students in a café discussing how to hide their report cards from their parents,” Kwadwo shared in an exclusive interview. “That hit me hard. Because at the end of the day, it’s the parents who sacrifice everything for their child’s education—and they’re being kept in the dark.”
Realizing the devastating ripple effect of poor school-parent communication, Kwadwo made a decision that would change the game: build a platform that makes academic performance impossible to hide—but in a way that’s intelligent, respectful, and collaborative.
But he didn’t do it alone. Soon after the idea struck, Kwadwo turned to his brother, Addo Baffour Dwomoh, then a postgraduate student at the Conestoga College, Canada, studying IT Business Analysis. The two spent countless hours brainstorming how to turn the vision into a scalable, user- friendly platform. That early collaboration laid the blueprint for SchoolBook.
Today, Addo Baffour Dwomoh serves as the acting Chief Executive Officer (CEO), leading the business and strategic growth of the company, while Kwadwo Dwomo II, now Chief Technology
Officer (CTO), continues to drive the platform’s technical innovation—solidifying the brothers as
Inter SchoolBook: World’s First Parent-Teacher Platform
SchoolBook is not just another school management app—it’s a living, breathing AI ecosystem
connecting teachers, parents, and students in real-time:
“This is not just an app. This is a movement, an educational revolution,” said Fatimatu Mutari, the dynamic COO of SchoolBook and a rising star in Ghana’s tech space. Fatimatu, who co- founded the project alongside Kwadwo and Addo through a partnership with the APRIL-STEM Foundation, has been instrumental in designing the user experience to ensure it’s intuitive for both teachers in remote districts and parents in urban centers.
SchoolBook is currently in beta testing across selected preparatory and high schools in Ghana, receiving rave reviews from teachers and parents alike. “This platform made me feel like I’m in the classroom with my daughter,” says Madam Janet Agyeman, a mother of two in Kumasi. “It’s the future.”
Following the September launch in Ghana, the platform is set to expand to neighboring countries including Nigeria, Togo, and Côte d’Ivoire, before heading to global markets. Talks are already underway with educational boards in the UK and U.S. interested in adapting the platform to their systems.
What makes SchoolBook especially sensational is its symbolic origin: a self-taught Black software engineer from Ghana has built the world’s first true AI-enhanced bridge between parents and schools—beating multinational edtech companies to the punch.
“I taught myself how to architect software reading a lot of books and spending more than 10,000 hours performing use cases, analysis, design, coding, and testing,” says Kwadwo. “I believe Africa isn’t the future—we’re the now. And SchoolBook proves that when we build solutions for our own problems, the world pays attention.”
With SchoolBook, the world is not just paying attention. It’s taking notes.
