Admissions and parent agent

In admissions season, parents get answers on programmes, fees and documents at once, and the office spends its time on the families who mean it.

Mother and daughter look at a phone in a school corridor, beside a received application, documents 4 of 5 and an open house. Schools & institutes
“In admissions season the office answers the same questions about programmes, fees and documents hundreds of times a day, with no time left for the families who are serious.”

The problem

Two months before term, three office staff take calls and answer LINE about the same things hundreds of times a day. How much are the fees, is there a school bus, which documents do we need. The answers are in the brochure and on the website, but parents would rather ask a person. The families who are serious and want to see the school wait for a call back because everyone is on the phone.

The list of enquiries sits in several Excel files. Nobody knows which family reached which stage, who still owes a document, or in the end how many enrolled out of everyone who ever asked.

How we solve it

We give the agent the school’s programmes, fees, scholarships, entry criteria and document list, and it answers parents on LINE OA or the website at once, in Thai or English. When a parent is interested it offers the campus visit or trial lesson slots that are actually free, books one and records the family in the admissions system along with what they asked.

After the application the agent chases missing documents, sends payment deadlines and tells parents which stage they have reached. The office sees on one page which families are waiting on a document and which have gone quiet, and calls only the ones who need a real conversation. For current parents the same agent answers about timetables and holidays and passes absence notices to the class teacher.

Admission decisions, scholarships and fee extensions always belong to the management and the admissions office. The agent gathers the information and queues it. Pupil and parent data is accessed by permission under PDPA.

Who gets what

Business owner

From the start of the season you see how many families are enquiring per programme, and more of them enrol from the same number of enquiries, without hiring temporary office staff.

IT director

Connected to the admissions and records systems the school uses through their API or the Google Sheets the team already keeps, with pupil data accessed by permission and non-enrolled applicants’ data deleted on a schedule under PDPA.

The team using it every day

The office stops answering the same questions and talks to the families who are deciding.
