# TUO Plan

> Build your school’s weekly timetable in one click. TUO Plan assigns teachers, classes and subjects with no clashes and no gaps in the day. Free for every school until the end of 2026.

TUO Plan is a school timetabling program. You enter your teachers, subjects and classes, say how many lessons each class needs per week, and it builds a complete weekly timetable for the whole school — no teacher in two rooms at once, and tries to leave no class with an empty period in the middle of the day.

It fits the way your school actually runs. Set your working days and the number of periods in a day, and every timetable respects them. When something needs to change, drag a lesson to a new slot and the editor tells you straight away whether the move is allowed.

[How to build a school timetable in TUO Plan](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a8cuqXoHdDo) — A simple walkthrough — from zero to a finished weekly timetable.

## TUO Plan at a glance

- **What it is**: online school timetabling software — an automatic timetable generator, a drag-and-drop timetable editor and a daily substitution planner in one. It runs in the browser; there is nothing to install.
- **Who it is for**: schools of any size, from a village school with a handful of teachers to large schools with hundreds of teachers, and groups of schools. It fits any institution that runs a fixed weekly timetable of classes, teachers and subjects.
- **Where**: built for schools in Armenia and Georgia, and usable anywhere.
- **Languages**: the interface and every printout in Armenian, Georgian, Russian and English.
- **Price**: free for schools with up to 10 teachers, with no time limit. Larger schools buy a yearly pass priced per teacher (a pass covers at least 25); above 200 teachers there is a custom offer.
- **What it replaces**: building the timetable by hand on paper or in Excel, or a desktop timetabling program such as aSc Timetables or FET.

## From data to timetable in 3 steps

1. **Add school data** — Teachers, subjects and classes
2. **Assign teaching hours** — Say who teaches what, to which class, and how many hours a week.
3. **Generate the schedule** — One click builds a clash-free weekly timetable for every class.

## The whole school on one board

Every class or every teacher, the whole week, on one screen. Pick up a lesson and the board marks every clash before you let go — and any change can be undone with Ctrl+Z.

## Built around how your school really works

Teachers' days off, demanding subjects, second-shift classes and several buildings are part of the plan from the first click — not fixes you make afterwards.

## Why schools love it

- **One-click timetables**: Feed in your teaching hours and generate a clash-free weekly schedule instantly with our constraint-aware engine.
- **No double-bookings**: Teachers and classes are never scheduled twice in the same slot — guaranteed by design, not by luck.
- **Balanced, gapless days**: Hours are spread evenly across the week and gaps are squeezed out so students and staff get tidy days.
- **Hard subjects at the best hours**: Give each subject a difficulty, or let TUO Plan work it out. Demanding subjects are spread across the week and aimed at the late-morning periods, when pupils concentrate best.
- **Double lessons and subject groups**: When a subject comes twice in one day, the two lessons sit back to back as a double. Group related subjects — Algebra and Geometry as Mathematics — and they are spread across the week as one.
- **Smart editor for the whole school**: See every class or every teacher on one big board and drag lessons between periods. Before you drop, it names what the slot would break. Undo and redo any change with Ctrl+Z and Ctrl+Y.
- **Lock lessons in place, generate around them**: Put a lesson exactly where you want it and lock it. Generate places everything still unscheduled around the locked lessons, and Optimize polishes the week — neither ever moves a locked lesson.
- **Every conflict explained**: No cryptic errors. When a move is not allowed, TUO Plan says why in plain words — the teacher who already teaches then, the class that is not at school, the room that is full — and shows every class’s gaps on the grid.
- **Teacher days off and unavailable hours**: Mark the periods a teacher cannot teach — a day off, hours at another school, a personal preference — and the scheduler never places their lessons there.
- **Shared lessons, multiple teachers**: Assign more than one teacher to the same class at the same time — for split groups, labs or subjects two teachers cover together. TUO Plan books every teacher in the pair automatically.
- **Targeted lessons, one teacher, several classes**: Electives and combined-group lessons need one teacher scheduled across several classes in the same period. TUO Plan handles it as a built-in case, not a workaround.
- **Shared rooms: labs, gyms, computer rooms**: Tell TUO Plan which rooms classes take turns in — a science lab, a sports hall, a computer room — and how many classes each can hold. It never books a room beyond that, and keeps lessons out of the periods it is closed.
- **Schools with several buildings**: Teach in more than one building? Give each class and room its building, and TUO Plan keeps teachers and classes from walking between buildings more than they have to — Optimize even reports how many trips it cut.
- **Second-shift classes**: Mark when a class is not at school — the first periods for a second shift, or a late start on one day. TUO Plan puts its lessons only where the class is in, spreads them evenly across the week and starts each day the moment the class arrives.
- **Printable Excel & PDF**: Download a ready-to-print timetable for every class and every teacher, plus a whole-staff overview, as an Excel or PDF file in one click.
- **Local backups you control**: Download a full backup of your school to your own computer at any time, and restore it in one click if a change goes wrong or something gets cleared by accident.
- **Armenian, Georgian, Russian and English**: Every screen and every printout works in all four languages, and you can switch at any time. Teacher, subject and class names stay exactly as you type them, in any alphabet.
- **Your data, isolated**: Every school is fully isolated. Sign up with an email and your data is yours alone.

## What it can handle

- **Any working week**: 1 to 7 school days and 1 to 12 lesson periods a day — five- and six-day weeks, and the long days of two-shift schools.
- **Any size of school**: there is no fixed limit on teachers, classes, subjects or lessons. Generating a timetable takes seconds.
- **Rules it never breaks**: no teacher, class or shared room booked twice in one period; no lesson in a teacher's unavailable hours or on their day off; no lesson while a class is not at school; no more classes in a room than it holds; no lesson beyond the school's periods; locked lessons never move.
- **What it optimises**: no empty periods in the middle of a class's day, each subject spread evenly across the week, demanding subjects at the hours pupils concentrate best, two lessons of a subject on one day placed back to back as a double, and fewer walks between buildings.
- **Real-school cases built in**: several teachers in one lesson (split groups, labs), one teacher with several classes at once (electives, combined groups), subject groups (Algebra and Geometry spread as Mathematics), second-shift classes, several buildings, labs and gyms that classes take turns in.
- **After the timetable**: manual edits with every clash named before you drop, undo and redo, Excel and PDF printouts for every class and teacher, local backups, and one-day substitution plans when a teacher is away.

## Example setups

These are illustrations of how schools typically use TUO Plan, not specific schools.

- **A small village school** — 9 classes, one per grade, and 10 teachers, most teaching several subjects and some coming in only on certain days. The head marks each part-time teacher's days off, presses Generate, and every lesson lands on a day the teacher is in, with no class left with an empty period mid-day. It fits the Free plan.
- **A mid-sized city school** — about 15 classes and 25 teachers, five days of 7 periods. Algebra and Geometry are grouped as Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry share one lab, and two classes can use the gym at once. Typing in the teachings takes about an hour; the timetable itself, seconds.
- **A large two-shift school** — 40 classes and 80 teachers, six days a week, 11 periods a day across both shifts. The younger grades are marked as not at school in the morning periods, so their lessons start the moment they arrive.
- **A school in two buildings** — each class and room gets its building, and Optimize keeps teachers and classes from walking between buildings more than they have to.
- **Fixed lessons first** — the head places a few lessons by hand (say, PE on Friday afternoons), locks them, and Generate fills in the rest of the week around them.
- **A teacher is ill** — mark the absence and the substitution planner covers every lesson that day with a free colleague, preferring one who teaches the same subject. The weekly timetable is not touched; print the staff-room sheet and each teacher's changes.

## Smart substitutions when a teacher is away

Mark who is absent and TUO Plan plans the day around them. The whole day is laid out in one full-view editor where you can change any lesson by hand — and you decide how much the system does for you.

- **Fully automatic**: One click covers every lesson that lost its teacher. TUO Plan finds a free colleague — preferring one who teaches the same subject — or, when nobody is free, rearranges the day with as few changes as possible.
- **Semi-automatic**: Go through the affected lessons one at a time. For each, the system finds the substitutes and rearrangements that fit and recommends the best one — you choose and apply.
- **Manual**: Click any lesson in the day editor to choose a substitute, move it or cancel it. Changes made by hand are pinned, so the automatic planner keeps them.

Only that one day changes — the weekly timetable is never touched. Publish the day, then print the staff-room sheet and each teacher’s changes.

## Frequently asked questions

### How do I create a school timetable?

Add your teachers, subjects and classes, assign the weekly lesson hours for each class, then press Generate. TUO Plan produces a clash-free weekly timetable for every class in a few seconds, and you can adjust it by hand afterwards.

### How long does it take to build a timetable?

Setting up a mid-sized school takes about an hour, most of it typing in teachings. Generating the timetable itself takes seconds.

### Does it prevent teacher clashes?

Yes. A teacher can never be placed in two classes in the same period, and a class can never hold two lessons at once. These are hard rules the generator is not able to break.

### Can I edit the generated timetable by hand?

Yes. The drag-and-drop editor lets you move any lesson. Slots that would break a rule are blocked as you drag, so a manual change can never leave you with an invalid timetable.

### Can I fix some lessons in place and let it schedule the rest?

Yes. Lock any lesson and it stays exactly where you put it. Generate then places every lesson that is still unscheduled around the locked ones, and Optimize layout improves the week without touching them. Only clearing the whole timetable removes a locked lesson.

### How much does it cost?

TUO Plan is free for every school until the end of 2026. After that, a school buys a pass priced by its number of teachers (see the prices above). A school with up to 10 teachers can use it for free, and any school can try it in preview for as long as it likes. No credit card is needed to start.

### Will it fit our working days and lesson periods?

Yes. You set how many days a week your school runs and how many periods there are in a day, and every timetable it generates stays inside those limits.

### Can a teacher have days off or hours they cannot teach?

Yes. Open the teacher and mark the periods they are not available — a whole day, a few hours at another school, or a personal preference. The generator never places their lessons there, and the editor will not let you drag one there by hand.

### Does it work for schools with two shifts?

Yes. In Settings, turn on two shifts and give the day enough periods to hold both, then open a class and mark the periods it is not at school — for a second-shift class, the first periods of each day. TUO Plan places its lessons only while the class is in and spreads them evenly: a class with 25 lessons a week that arrives for period 4 gets five a day, periods 4 to 8. A teacher who works both shifts is still never booked twice.

### Does it work for a school with several buildings?

Yes. In Settings, switch to several buildings, add them on the Spaces page, and give each class and each room its building. A lesson follows its class unless you set another building on the lesson itself, and a lesson in a room is wherever that room is. The timetable then keeps teachers and classes from walking between buildings more than they have to.

### Can two teachers share one class, or one teacher cover several classes at once?

Yes. Mark a lesson as co-taught to put more than one teacher on the same class at the same time — for split groups or team teaching — or as a merged lesson to put one teacher across several classes at once, for electives and combined groups. Both are handled natively when the timetable is generated.

### What happens when a teacher is absent?

Mark who is away and TUO Plan plans the day around them — fully automatically, one lesson at a time with a recommendation for each, or by hand. It prefers a free colleague who teaches the same subject, and when nobody is free it rearranges the day with as few changes as possible. Only that day changes; the weekly timetable stays as it is.

### Can I print the schedule?

Yes. Export a timetable for every class and every teacher, plus a whole-staff overview, as an editable Excel file or a ready-to-print PDF, in one click.

### What should I do once I've finalized a schedule?

We recommend downloading a backup and keeping it somewhere safe. If you make changes later, or something gets cleared by accident, you can restore straight from that file — the fastest way back to a version you know was right.

### Which languages does TUO Plan support?

Armenian, Georgian, Russian and English. Every screen and every Excel or PDF export is available in all four, and you can switch at any time. Teacher, subject and class names are kept exactly as you type them.
