Zyqual
Kingston, Jamaica
What it is
Zyqual is a web-based education management platform for schools, teachers, and education officers. Its tools cover teacher and leadership appraisals, lesson observations, student support, and reporting. Appraisals track progress and evidence against standards, while customisable observation forms produce feedback reports and help track teacher development and school-wide teaching patterns. Described AI features support curriculum alignment analysis, gap detection, teaching insights, and standards-aligned lesson planning. Analytics turn observation, assessment, and progress information into school, regional, and national reports with trends and benchmarking. The Student IEP service manages plans for students with special educational needs, including strategies, progress, and staff coordination. The Teacher plan is free and includes lesson observation forms, lesson plan creation, IEP management, personal progress tracking, and a teaching strategy library. The School plan is also free and adds tools such as SWOT analysis, school-wide analytics, coaching, and an admin dashboard. The free plan is for registered Jamaican schools. Zyqual says AI should support human judgement, not be the sole basis for decisions that significantly affect a person.
