Tiivistelmä
School Management System (SMS) is a Computer-Based Information System (CBIS) that attempts to consolidate all departments and operations of Comprehensive High School, Ayetoro (CHSA) into a single computer system that services each department’s specific needs. SMS is a convergence of people, hardware and software into an efficient and service delivery system that increases the productivity of the school.
Based on the author’s own preliminary research among major schools (primary and secondary) in Nigeria in June 2012, it was discovered that various problems are associated with manual processing, administration and management of schools.
During the author’s own preliminary research, it was found out that the existing system employed a file system of storing data and manual retrieval of information. However, the existing mode of operation was inefficient and less productive.
The developed information system for school management automates all operations performed by the administrators (Bursar, Registrar, Vice-principal and Principal) of CHSA, thereby improving productivity and workflow.
