Objective: To transition from a paper-based school management system to a digital platform using Adesua School Management System (ASMS) to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the educational experience for students, teachers, and administrators.
Background
Sunshine Academy, a mid-sized private school in Lagos, Nigeria, has been operating using traditional paper-based methods for managing student records, attendance, grading, scheduling, and communication with parents. This system has become increasingly cumbersome and prone to errors, leading to inefficiencies and a growing administrative burden.
Challenges
- Time-Consuming Administrative Tasks:
- Manual record-keeping and data entry are time-consuming and prone to errors.
- Teachers and administrative staff spend a significant amount of time on paperwork instead of focusing on teaching and student engagement.
- Data Accessibility and Security:
- Important student records and administrative documents are stored in physical files, making them difficult to access and vulnerable to loss or damage.
- Ensuring data security and privacy is challenging with physical records.
- Inefficient Communication:
- Communication between the school, teachers, parents, and students is often delayed due to reliance on paper notices and phone calls.
- Lack of a centralized system for updates and notifications.
- Resource Management:
- Managing school resources, such as classrooms, equipment, and learning materials, is inefficient and lacks transparency.
- Difficulty in tracking the availability and utilization of resources.
