About Us
Wholeskool-An All-round Education
Our Purpose
We created Wholeskool because we believe that educational leaders should be able to focus on what really matters – students, teaching, and learning. Organisation administration should take care of itself hassle-free, with all stakeholders engaging with each other directly and efficiently with minimal management intervention.
Our Mission
Wholeskool is seeking to enhance the way in which the education industry is run – reducing management and Principal oversight of administrative operations, giving education managers transparent control over their organisation, and ensuring smooth communication and information flows between all stakeholders.
Our Vision
We are trying to find ways of automating as much as possible the operations of educational organisations so as to free up managers’ and principals’ time to be able to focus on providing quality learning outcomes and ensuring that the interests of their teachers, students, parents, and partners are respected. We are constantly testing and releasing new features to allow this to happen on an advanced basis.

Our Roots
For Wholeskool’s co-founder, Na’ím Anís Paymán, his life mission has always been to contribute towards an ever advancing civilisation. As such, he started pursuing his studies at the University of Cambridge in Natural Sciences, wishing to specialise in nanotechnology. Frustrated with the academic environment, he began experimenting with setting up various businesses as means of enabling him to achieve some meaningful impact more rapidly. The business that took off the fastest was Peymans, a short term rental management company, which within the span of a few years was numbering hundreds of units under management. Trying to cope with a rapidly growing business, and disappointed by the human error element which kept cropping up in various parts of the business, Zeevou was born.

Following a successful launch, Paymán started looking for a new initiative where he could use his accumulated experience in running a tech start-up for social goods. Wholeskool presented the perfect opportunity to help increase the quality of the service offered by educational establishments and further the cause of universal education. Equipped with relevant knowledge and skills acquired from running a platform that automates operations in the hospitality industry, he is set to offer a solid launching pad to help reduce operational inefficiencies in large school chains. Paymán is also also a mentor, consultant and angel investor, investing specifically in early stage start-ups run by aspiring entrepreneurs in developing countries with limited access to investments.
