Inspectors and parents ask for the scheme of study — which chapter lands in which month, how many periods per topic, when revisions and exams fit. Writing it by hand for every subject and grade eats coordinator time. DeskOS links your syllabus units, diary, and completion reports so the plan you publish matches what teachers mark in class.
Use the Syllabus Subject Bank to define topics, then track pacing through the tracker and admin reports — less spreadsheet drift, more evidence for monthly tests.
What goes into a scheme of study
A useful scheme of study for Pakistani schools typically includes:
- Month / week columns — mapped to your session (April–March or January–December)
- Unit and chapter references — tied to syllabus topics
- Period allocation — how many classes per topic
- Assessment milestones — monthly tests, half-yearly, board prep blocks
- Holiday gaps — Eid, summer break, exam weeks excluded automatically when you set the calendar
AI generation vs manual spreadsheets
Coordinators often maintain scheme of study in Excel — one tab per subject, easy to drift out of sync with what teachers actually teach. DeskOS approach:
- Start from syllabus units (manual entry or AI Syllabus Generator)
- Set session dates and exam weeks in your academic calendar
- Assign target weeks per unit in the syllabus bank (coordinator edit)
- Academic head adjusts for fast topics, combined classes, shared labs
- Publish to teachers via portal; track actual completion against the plan
Connected to syllabus progress
A scheme of study on paper is worthless if nobody follows it. In DeskOS, teachers mark syllabus topics complete in the Syllabus Tracker. Principals compare planned vs actual — who is ahead, who needs support before the monthly test.
Exam and diary alignment
When assessment weeks are baked into the scheme, exam scheduling and daily diary entries stay coherent. Teachers generating AI lesson plans can reference the same topic sequence without re-explaining context every Monday.
For Cambridge, Federal, and local boards
Prompts can reflect O-Level pacing, Matric part-wise splits, or primary multi-subject blocks. The generator proposes structure; your academic team approves before it goes live — AI assists, humans sign off.
Pricing and access
Scheme of study generation is part of DeskOS AI Teaching Suite. Basic AI usage is included with every monthly package; campuses with heavy generation across all grades can add unlimited AI separately. Details on pricing and the AI Suite module.
