Sahel EDU

School documents whose authenticity can be checked in seconds

A report card, certificate or school card is easy to forge on paper. With Sahel Shield, documents issued by a school whose opening authorisation has been verified carry a QR Code: by scanning it, an employer, a receiving school or an administration sees whether the document is authentic, which school issued it and on what date, with no account and no app.

How it works

  • The school issues the document from Sahel EDU: it is digitally signed.
  • A QR Code is printed on the document, with a short, stable address.
  • Anyone scans the code and sees whether the document is authentic, which school issued it and on what date.

Built to last

The address printed on a document must stay valid for decades. The Sahel Shield address is short, stable and kept in perpetuity. If a school leaves the platform, its former students keep their verifiable certificates.

What this changes for you

  • For the management: fewer forged documents, and fewer confirmation requests by phone.
  • For families: a report card or certificate recognised everywhere, even long after schooling.
  • For employers and receiving schools: a free check, with no account.
