Many schools in Ghana from the primary to the senior high school still use the manual way of processing data and keeping them in files. Sometimes these files might be misplaced or accessed by unauthorized people.
Teachers also use cumbersome methods to write the grades of students which are later compiled by filling a printed report form and later given to the students to be passed on to their guardians.
It is unfortunate to say that some people in charge of taking fees from students might be corrupted and embezzle the money and just discard the copy of receipts kept in order for them not to be accountable to the transactions they had made.
In order to help solved the above problems in Ghana, this thesis is written. It is a .NET web service and a client application to consume the service. The application uses MySQL database, Cryptography for encrypting password, IIS server which runs the services and user interface that fetches the services available on the IIS server. The web services and user interface are all implemented in C#. The application will be running on an intranet since not all schools in Ghana have internet connections.
Students’ information could be stored by this application and only accessible by au-thorized persons. Teachers will no longer fill forms after making and processing stu-dents’ scores since the application will do the calculations, the grading and the aca-demic report of students generated by the application in PDF could be printed when-ever needed
