Create a Teacher and Complete Their Profile
Add a teacher through a 3-step form: Identity, Assignment, and Documents.
For School administrators. Updated 2026-08-01.
Overview
Creating a teacher walks through Identity (name, gender, date of birth, phone, email, temporary password, status), Assignment (staff number, which auto-generates if left blank, position, department, section, designated class, joined date, qualification, specialization), and Documents (residence, address, shared document links, notes).
The email field becomes read-only once a teacher has been created and cannot be changed afterward.
