Education WhatsApp templates help schools, colleges and training providers remind students about classes, chase fee payments and open course enrollment. Class and fee reminders are Utility templates; enrollment campaigns are Marketing. Parents and students can reply with questions, and staff answer from a shared inbox instead of personal phones.
