ABSTRACT
The manual approach used
in the regulation of the school activities by the management board is very
tedious and stressful. This research work investigated into the
complications encountered due to the debilitation of man-power admitted into
the school management with respect to how indepth it affects other operational
system that conduct in school with a view of designing a computerized system to
handle the work with less difficulty for an effective decision-making.
In the course of the
study, an existing system was digested and its deficiencies were detected and
emphatically analysed, after which solutions to the problems were proffered in
the new designed computerized system that is reliable and more
interactive. The new system terminates all the problems experienced with
the existing system. The case study is Post-Primary School Management
Board (PPSMB) Enugu.

INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
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.
For the past ten
years, it has been discovered that 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.
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 making 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 educational administrative information system.
1.2 AIMS/OBJECTIVES
The basic aim of the study
is to provide a lasting solution to the problems emanated from the manual means
of school management. They are as follows:
-
To produce a system which tends to increase the predictability of the
organization by assessing critically its obsolescence in relation to fresh
challenges.
-
To produce a reliable system that would coordinate most of the school
activities.
-
To produce a flexible and comprehensive system that would meet up with the future
development in the school.
-
To design and develop a computerized system that would handle the execution of
school activities most especially post-primary schools so as to liquidate all
the problems identified with the existing system.
1.2.1 STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
The sudden increase in
the number of students enroll in each school has transcended the manipulation
of the existing system used by the school administrators and this prompted a
lot of problems which encompass the inaccurate computation of students result
by the staffs on the account of non-availability of adequate number of computer
systems for the computation. This is a very ugly development. Also,
it was very complicated to observe when the enrolment of students should cease
since there was no efficient system for the estimation of enrolment ratio to
give a signal when the enrolment tends to move beyond the projection. All
these and more are encountered due to the debilitation of the prevailing system
used. It was very difficult to point out students who cheat in the course
of examination as attributed to the non-standard measure used in the
supervision of the examination. The staff complained seriously on the
unnecessary stress encountered while marking the examination answer scripts
manually.
1.3 JUSTIFICATION
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 on the benefit of students and staffs. It is also a basic study
for research and for the entire populace and future researchers.
1.4 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. However, the case study is
post-primary school management board (PPSMB) Enugu.
1.5 METHODOLOGY
On account of time, she
adopted only 2 procedures of capturing data for the study. Those 2
procedures encompass.
A)
INTERVIEW METHOD:- During the
interview conducted in the post-primary school management board. The
research interviewed the director of school supervisor on the nature of duty
conducted in schools she had supervised with special reference to the
examination coordination and supervision, enrolment ratio for the admission of
students in school. The director of administration department was equally
interrogated based on the obligation and dereliction of the management board
towards the growth of education observed in schools with little assistance from
some of the staffs. The response to the questions enabled the researcher
to take off.
B)
REFERENCES TO WRITTEN DOCUMENT:- Inspite of the interview took place in the PPSMB, the
researcher extended her collection of data to the written document as a result
of inadequacy from the responsiveness of the interview. The researcher
had to visit Enugu State and National Library for more information and
references from already written text on educational administration varying more
emphasis on school administration and management. The information from
this specified method made the successful completion of this study possible.
