The Manager's Door
This portal has one manager: the teacher of GBHS BAMESSING. Every key of this school is in his hand. No student enters by any other road. His working desk — his register, his class lists by level, and his two grant actions — stands in the Staff Room.
How his grant works
- A student registers. The registration comes to the manager's own account, together with a confirmation code made for that registration alone.
- Grant trial. With the code before him, the manager grants the student a trial period of study. The student enters, attends his level's classes at their study times, and sees the school from inside.
- The trial expires. When the trial period ends, the student's access closes by itself and stands expired until the next step.
- The student pays the school. The fee is paid by MTN Mobile Money, directly to the school's own number. The payment runs wholly inside MTN Mobile Money — this portal never touches money.
- Grant paid access. The manager confirms the payment and grants continued access. Only his grant is recorded here — never the money.
The four states of access
| State | What it means |
|---|---|
| Awaiting grant | Registered; the manager has not yet granted access. |
| On trial | Trial granted; the student studies until the trial's end. |
| Active | Paid access granted after the manager confirmed payment. |
| Expired | The trial or paid period has ended; access is closed until granted again. |
The manager's tools are being armed. Tonight this door explains the grant and holds its place. The working tools — his register of students, his two grant actions, Grant trial and Grant paid access — are switched on when his own email address is wired to this door and the school's one-minute setup is run. Until then, registrations are received safely at the house mailbox and passed to him, and no student is granted by anyone else.
The trial period's length and the school's fee are to be confirmed by the school; they are deliberately left blank here, for the manager to set.
