ABSTRACT

Christ the King College has a large number of students who pay all the secondary school fees through cash deposits, electronic funds transfer or bank drafts to the school’s accounts in specific bank branches. These methods of paying fees have not been efficient enough especially during periods of tests and examinations when most of the students are paying fees to meet the requirements for entering examination rooms. The process of processing this fees is characterized by long queues, too much waiting by students and congestion at banks where payments are made. This has always resulted in students missing to sit for their tests and examinations while they are queuing to make payments. It was upon such background that i embarked on the project to develop an alternative system that enables online fees payment and processing by students and their sponsors. With the use of questionnaires, interviews, observation and document reviews, data was collected from project stakeholders and analyzed. Data flow diagrams and Entity relationship diagrams were used to accomplish system analysis and design. The system was implemented using Apache web server, MySQL database server, Hypertext Preprocessor, Hypertext markup language, Cascading style sheets and JavaScript. System testing and validation was also done by allowing users of the system interact with it using test data. Findings showed that most of the students were unsatisfied with the current modes of paying fees to their school and agreed that an online fees processing system can improve the process of fees payment. The result of the project was an online fees processing system for Christ the King College and i recommend the school to implement the system that provides relief of the long endured problems of the current modes of school fee processing at the school.

CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

  • Background of Study

According to Jerome Bruner, (1996), the processes and culture of education, has made a proud contribution to our appreciation of the process of education and to the development of curriculum theory. It is surely the case that schooling is only one small part of how a culture indicates the young into its canonical ways. Indeed, schooling may even be at odds with a culture’s other ways of indicating the young into requirements of communal living. has become increasingly clear, that education is not just about conventional school only school matters like curriculum or stand or testing. What we resolve to do in school only makes sense when considered in the broader context of what the society intends to accomplish through tits educational investment in the young. How one can conceives of education, we have finally come to recognize, is a function of how one conceive of culture and it aim, professed and otherwise. The roles of structure in learning and how it may be made central in teaching. The approach taken should be a practical one. The teaching and learning of structure rather than simply the mastery of fact and techniques, is at the centre of the classic problem of transfer. If earlier, it must do so by providing a general picture in term of which the relations between things encountered earlier and later are made clear as possible.

Processing perform a series of mechanical or chemical operations on (something) in order to change or preserve it. School fees processing is the process of payment of school fees and changing it into receipt is called the processing of school fees. Fee collection and management is one of the critical processes of a school.

1.2        Statement of the Problem

The process of school fees processing system of Christ the king college (CKC) is being done manually by the school management, whereby the manual process is complex and time consuming which makes the student not to write exams on time because of the slow rate of processing the school fees from the bursary department manually. This manual process sometimes lead to the misplacement of the school fees tellers because of lack of adequate storage medium, there may be fire outbreak which may burn the files, Robbers may attack the school and got the files stolen due to insecurity of the file.

1.3 Aim and Objective of the Study

The objective of this project include:

  1. To provide a reliable and transparent system devoid of personal inclinations and interest.
  2. To provide borderless access.
  • To alleviate the problems and stress of travelling and queuing up of students during clearance in the bursary department due to manual process of school fees payment.
  1. This project work is therefore aimed at designing an automated system for Christ the King College (CKC) for subsequent handling of a student’s payment in order to ease decision and management planning.
  2. decision and management planning.

 

1.4       Significance of the Study

This project work will help in a good number of ways to ease the queuing system in Christ the king college (CKC) as the online clearance and school fees payment system will help the students to achieve whatever they want to achieve without coming to the various offices for clearance and fees.

The online school fees system will allow the students to check their school fees status if they are in any way indebted to the school, fill and submit their school fees form, and obtain their clearance form for that year.

1.5          Scope of the Study

This research is narrowed down to the secondary school fees processing so as to obtain the information and well presented in more meaningful manner. The scope will therefore cover the handling of financial account of the school. This automated system will take care of the payment control concept in the school’s management information system

1.6       Limitations of the Study

In the course of this project research there were a lot of constraints. These however, in a way limited the research but not entirely stop it. The first is the lackadaisical attitude of the school authority to give accurate information even when they knew that the research was for an academic exercise. There was also lots of problems encountered during the interview section of the students because many of them could not speak at that moment due to the anger and stress the manual system of the school has caused them.
