The problem
Most schools in Timor-Leste still run on paper. The schools that don’t use foreign software that costs more than a teacher’s salary and doesn’t speak Tetum.
About
A Timorese school OS, sponsored by Timorese business.
The Of Timor group runs hotels, transport, retail, and a digital ecosystem across Timor-Leste. Students of Timor is our gift to the country's schools.
The mission
A modern, free, MoE-aligned school management system in every school in Timor-Leste by 2030.
Why we built it
The fix
A free, Tetum-first platform built and hosted in Timor-Leste, with the software cost covered by the Of Timor group.
Who's behind it
A Dili engineering team
Full-time engineers based in Dili. Tetum, Portuguese and English are all spoken in the office.
Education advisors
Headmasters and curriculum staff from EBC, ESG and EST schools advise on every release.
The Of Timor group
The group’s tourism, retail and payments businesses fund the engineering and hosting cost.
Three principles
MoE retains control
MoE keeps full read access for inspections, sets retention policies, and can require export or deletion at any time.
Tetum first
Tetum is not a checkbox. Every screen ships in Tetum on day one or it doesn’t ship.
Free, not freemium
No tiered features. No “Pro” plan that quietly costs more later. Public schools pay zero.
