COMPUTERIZED SECONDARY SCHOOL ADMISSION SYSTEM
ABSTRACT
Computerized Secondary School Admission System is an online system that can be accessed throughout the organization and outside as well with accurate login details provided. The aim of this research work is to critically assess the collection and processing of student admission form process in order to identify issues encountered in the system, so as to design a new system that will help reduce or completely eradicate the identified problems. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out to study the existing system in order to get a full understanding of it, identify problems of the existing system, alleviate problems with the application process and record keeping, enhance the institution document management system, make the system easier to use for even students with less computer knowledge, provide easy retrieval of student's data, and make the web contents lighter to enhance retrieval speed even on slow internet. The methodology adopted in this study is the object oriented analysis and design methodology (OOADM) which is a technical approach for analyzing and designing an application or system by applying object throughout the software development process. The programming language used is HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, SQL and JQUERY. The reason why web programming languages was used is because, it is platform independent and it is a web based application. The automated admission processing system will help reduce some of the laborious work involve in student admission processing, maximized returns for the institution, provide a friendly user interface to users. The expected result is a Computerized Secondary School Admission System that will process student’s credentials and generates an accurate screening information details.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Online Secondary School Admission System is aimed at developing an online admission application for a college. This system is an online system that can be accessed throughout the organization and outside as well with proper login provided. Our system has two type of accessing modes, administrator and user. Student management system is managed by an administrator. It is the job of the administrator to admit and monitor the whole process. When a user log in to the system. He would only view details of the student. He can't perform any changes .The system has two modules. They are:
- User
- Administrator
Students logging is to apply for the course by filling an application form provided by online. College principal/administrator logging in may also access/search information put up by the students.
The focus of this project work is to develop an automated Secondary School Admission System that shall bring about this paradigm shift, in other to proffer solution to the challenges inherent in the existing system implemented by King’s College in Lagos State. The proposed system: Automated admission processing System shall be developed using HTML, CSS and PHP as the frontend, and MY SQL database management system as the backend (Desile, 2009)
1.2 Statement of Problem
Student admission processing as being done presently by King’s College in Lagos State is still similar to manual processing despite that student completes their application form online. The existing system has the following drawbacks.
- Slow operation due to human intervention.
- Delayed information retrieval as a result of heavy web-contents.
- Prone to error due to little data validation.
- Unfriendly or difficult to use interface.
- High cost of operation.
- Application still ends up looking more like a manual process because there is no feature that supports decision in the current information system.
1.3 Aim and Objectives of Study
The aim of this research work is to critically assess the collection and processing of student admission form process in order to identify issues encountered in the system, so as to design a new system that will help reduce or completely eradicate the identified problems. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to:
- Study the existing system in order to get a full understanding of it.
- Identify problems of the existing system.
- Alleviate problems with the application process and record keeping.
- Enhance the institution document management system.
- Make the system easier to use for even students with less computer knowledge
- Provide easy retrieval of student's data.
- Make the web contents lighter to enhance retrieval speed even on slow internet.
1.4 Scope of the Study
The scope of this study is centered on designing an automated web-based application software for Secondary School Student admission processing. The system is strictly based on student's application processing, record keeping and information retrieval in King’s College in Lagos State. It will also be capable of short-listing admissible students and will make them available for a final administrator approval before they are offered a provisional admission.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The study will provide an automated online admission processing system that will help increase speed of processing student admission and help reduce or eliminate work by automating the admission process to the most convenient.
The automated admission processing system will help reduce some of the laborious work involve in student admission processing, maximized returns for the institution, provide a friendly user interface to users.
This study will also be of immense benefit to other researchers who intend to know more on this study and can also be used by non-researchers to build more on their research work. This study contributes to knowledge and could serve as a guide for other study.
1.6 Limitations of the Study
During the course of this study, many things militated against its completion, some of which are:
