For parents and guardians

Buy school books for your child from your phone

Choose digital textbooks and revision guides for your linked child in the 25schools store and track every order from the parent portal.

When your child needs a revision guide or a textbook, you can buy it on 25schools from your own phone. It goes straight to their account, ready to read.

How it works

  1. In the parent portal, open your child’s page.
  2. Browse the 25schools store and add books to your child’s cart.
  3. Check out and pay.
  4. The book appears on your child’s account, and you can follow the order from your portal.

What you can buy

  • Digital textbooks for Zambian subjects.
  • Revision guides and pamphlets written by teachers who know the exams.
  • Practice books for exam years.

Why it helps

You stay in control of what is bought and when, and your child gets the book the moment it is paid for. There is no trip to town and no book to lose. Each order is listed in your portal with its status, and you are notified about payments.

Choosing the right book

Look at your child’s progress or school report first. A guide for their weakest subject is usually the best buy. Reviews from other buyers in the store help you choose between books.

Don’t forget the free options: study notes and ECZ past papers cost nothing.
