CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
- BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to Soyinka (2014), Education is an indispensable system on which the life of everyone is built and as well stimulates the entire life application. It could be referred to as a process designed for the acquisition and dissemination of skills and knowledge to the posterity of the nation. The identified system tends to be implemented in diverse dimensions basically in schools.
Duruji (2017) affirmed that, for the past ten years, schools are not what they were as attributed to the wide ranging changes which have occurred and brought new pressure associated with increased size. On the account of this, an increasing complexity of organization has been instigated so that stresses and anxieties of choice have been added to those of dimension.
Gander (2020) The competent educational administration constitute the intensity of education and its impediments mount a disturbing diffusion and obscuring of purpose and all these changes concede with a major recruiting of curriculum and methodology.
In most cases, the manual method adopted in monitoring some school activities undermine other roles like enrolment of students, computation of student’s result, examination supervision and marking of examination scripts.
With regard to the discrepancies created by the manual techniques of school administration, the school management board should devise a competitive means of achieving their set objective in a computerized school management system.
- AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
The aims of this research are to design and implement a web-based school management system.
The specific objectives of this study are as follows:
- To provide a web-based school management program that would help Marxist Comprehensive Academy collect, organize and manage students and institution data.
- To create a system that would provide secure cloud storage facilities for Marxist Comprehensive Academy.
- To implement a system that would give students easier means of accessing information, and instructional materials from the school.
- To design and implement a school management system that will keep track of student information such as school fees and results.
- STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Students find it difficult to access their results, especially when the school is not in session. In this study, we will build a web-based school management program where students of Marxist Comprehensive Academy can sign in, to obtain their class results, without physical presence in the school. They will be able to print class assignments and results, right from their comfort zones.
The staff complained seriously about the unnecessary stress encountered while marking the examination answer scripts manually, the proposed system will enable them upload it on server, then students from their various locations during the holidays, can view and print their results out.
- SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The implementation of this computerized system would definitely stimulate the school standard. This would as well help the management to ease the burden on the staff which would be for the benefit of students and staffs. It is also a basic study of research and for the entire populace and future researchers. The use of School Management System has the significance effect and when implemented will:
- Help the school to know the pedigree of all the students admitted into the school.
- Create a storage of large volume of data on school records.
- Assist the school management for easy identification of students.
- Put Marxist Comprehensive Academy, Uturu on the global map, since the portal will be accessible from any part of the world.
- SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This study covered the substantive solution to the problems generated by the existing system used in the school administration and management. Also, features will be added to the school management system to improve the efficiency of the services rendered by the school.
