Teach on EduPress
Share your notes, worksheets and lessons with pupils across Uganda. You can give them away free, rent them out or sell them, and you get 80% of every rental and sale.
Who can teach
Teaching on EduPress is for adults only. There are two ways to apply.
As school staff
If you’re on a school’s team on EduPress as an owner, admin or staff, apply as school staff: your school has already confirmed who you are.
As an independent teacher
Otherwise apply as an independent teacher: confirm your email and phone, then send a photo of your National ID, passport or driving licence, a selfie, a short teaching history and at least one reference.
An EduPress administrator checks every application by hand, on either route. If we say no, we tell you why, and you can apply again.
What happens to your ID
We keep the photos private, only EduPress administrators can open them, and we delete them 30 days after we decide. Your references and teaching history are only for us: they never appear on your public profile, and neither do your phone number or email.
Your materials
You add notes, worksheets, guides, books, stories, and audio and video lessons, for every level of education and for everyday life, with a cover if you like. Each one is free, to rent (UGX 500 to 100,000 for 7, 30 or 120 days), to buy (UGX 500 to 200,000), or both. A paid one can be downloaded only by someone who bought it. EduPress reviews each one, with its cover and any free sample, before anyone can see it, and may ask you for changes.
Please don’t send UNEB past papers or marking guides, scans of textbooks, or anything you don’t have permission to share.
Live classes
Once you’re approved you can run live classes from your desk: you stream from OBS or any encoder, pupils watch and type questions, and a class is recorded once you start it on EduPress.
A class runs 30 to 180 minutes and has 1 to 500 places. It’s free, or a place costs UGX 500 to 50,000.
- It’s a one-way broadcast. Pupils see and hear you, and you never see or hear them. YouTube carries the stream, and we set every class so YouTube’s own chat is off.
- Pupils type their questions in EduPress. Questions are text only, with no links, usernames, email addresses or phone numbers. You see the name of whoever asked a question in your class; other pupils don’t.
- You’ll see how many people enrolled, never who.
- Enrolling doesn’t connect you with a pupil, and you can’t message one.
- A parent or guardian is told every time their child enrols.
- A class is recorded once you start it on EduPress, and the recording is open to everyone who enrolled for 30 days.
- A signed-in member with a confirmed email or phone number can report a class, and people who enrolled can report one of its questions, to our moderators.
Your stream key is shown only on your desk, and anyone who holds it can broadcast as your class, so keep it to yourself. How live classes work
Keeping pupils safe
- You’ll see how many people rented or bought your materials and what you earned, never who they are.
- Adults can’t connect with or message children on EduPress, and that includes teachers.
- A parent is told when their child rents or buys something.
- We can suspend a teacher and take their materials offline.
Money
EduPress keeps 20% of each rental, each sale and each paid class place, and you get 80%. A UGX 5,000 rental or sale earns you UGX 4,000.
Set a mobile money (MTN or Airtel) or bank account. After any change we wait 48 hours before paying into it, and we email you. An EduPress administrator sends your money and records it; you see each payment on your desk. If a renter or a buyer is refunded, that payment’s earning comes off your balance.
