ABSTRACT

The idea behind school management system is to develop a system that works for

the best to achieve academic goals and missions. The main theme is to develop or

enhance the level of teaching by using ICT solutions. It helps to manage pedagogical

activities and work for the best of school management or record keeping. The

developed system leads us to the way that shares work of a school with its

management and making things easier and simple to manage the record of the school.

ICT important role in developing such systems. SMS is the solution to problem of

modern school management. MIS is second name of SMS. For the overall

improvement in educational environment it is developed. It makes things easier for the

management and in this way it helps to establish a sense of confidence and

satisfaction. By sharing their work with them newly developed system. In this way

teachers got more time for student’s activities and learning. This system is a solution

to management of class problems. Its serves best for both teachers and learners, with

the minimal chance to lose of their class work. The use of information and

communication technology in this area serves its best to provide the modern world

problem solutions. Enhancing a school environment by managing its resources in an

efficient way such as to keep record save and well organized. MIS and SMS are used

interchangeably. Both of these terms address the management system. The statistics of

system implementation are very satisfactory and results in favor of the school

management. It makes them feel relax and the things manage well. It helps in their

work. SMS implementation shows good results for schools in modern age of

technology.

1. INTRODUCTION

Computers contribute a lot in management of schools in term of teaching, administration and

learning at school. Massive investment has been done for introduction of ICT involving

softwares, hardware, staff development and networking. It has brought about positive effect

on efficiencies and performance of school [1]. The utilization of information technology in

modern learning strategies and techniques is one of the most growing field of the time. ICT

helps us make maximum use of our effort and gives us better focus on our work. We

developed a system or application software to manage the educational activities of schools

using ICT [2]. MIS plays an important part in the field of decision making because it helps in

monitoring of any disturbance of system. It can also help in determining a pathway of action

and taking the action to control the system. It also plays a role in non-programed decision. It

does so by providing support in the process of analyzing, evaluation and choosing the

decision and by providing information for the process of implementation [3]. The school

management system is an Android based application, developed for school management. It

manages their educational efforts in an effective way that leads them to the efficiency and

improvement benchmark. It saves teachers, heads and students time. The system gives them

the charm of ICT and they feel relaxed for their work routines [4].

It provides heads the functionality that they can use it to see teachers and students

performance, from this point it gave him/her the ability of decision making. He or she can

make valuable decision [5]. Decisions regarding to the school improvement standards and

working. Teachers can mark attendance online, upload assignments, upload results of

students. Students can get their performance view, they can check their result and attendance

[6]. Overall system provides a solution that addresses the problems and needs of schools of

Punjab province of Pakistan.

Initially when the system was implemented in the 498 high schools of Punjab, Pakistan.

The 63.25% of the total schools of Punjab. Semi-structured interviews of representatives of

high schools shows the improvements in the educational institutes [7]. Results were

outstanding, more than 50 % things get better than previous manual system of school

management. Although the data set is not too big but for statistical analysis or research work

for the time being, it is used to analyze the environment [8].

The research of the school management system is linked with use of system by teachers,

heads and students [9]. As far from implementation point of view system totally works under

the school users and administrators of it. This research paper shows the implementation of

school management system in the era of growing technology and communication [10]. The

effectiveness of the system is of much worth, especially in a developing country like Pakistan.

ICT provides them with the best of its time.

The review of literature in its first part describes the difference between traditional

working or managing schools and the school system implemented [11]. The difference can be

a wonder, as compared to the traditional school management process. The analogy between

these systems describes the whole scenario that how much it can be effective if few

improvements or changes were made in the system existing system [12].

1.1. Problem Statement

Old fashioned and manual school management system shows many mismanagements in its

domain and it make us left behind in the age of modern technologies. It is big problem, not to

use technology.

2. REVIEW OF LITURATURE

Communication has a very important role in any system or organization. It helps to connect

different sections of any system and creates coordination [13]. If there is a system that

manage the organization data and keep the record save, it will help a lot. In a developing

country like Pakistan the use of ICT to enhance working level of different institutes is

comparatively new approach, as these things were not available and things going on in their

conventional ways. There is no improvement in the situation all governments tried to improve

quality of education system to bring at up to national and international standards but success

has not been achieved so far. Education system seems to collapse in all fronts [14]. The

approaches to manage data or record in schools was old and the efficiency was not good in

this case. The use of MIS or SMS is started in late 90’s or in start of 2000 A.D in Pakistan.

The earliest college body pc applications began their development within the late

Nineteen Seventies. within the early Nineteen Eighties, many loose, non-integrated clerical

and body applications were developed, however these applications restricted the chances of

management support as a result of the relationships between the information couldn't be



analyzed [15]. the most objective of code development and usage throughout the initial stages

was to enhance the potency of college workplace activities. Computers and technologies in

academic establishments were used primarily to store student and personnel information [16]

believe that MIS directors and academics for sophisticated coming up with, policymaking and

analysis might offer necessary information. That MIS has revolutionized management of

schools in term of assessment, human resource and leadership, management of workload,

consultation, scheduling the responsibility. These systems can assist administrators in setting

school objectives, preparing strategic plans, allocating resources, and assessing staff

performance for organizational achievement [17].

3. MATERIALS AND METHODS

The general background of this work is that it’s a new initiative of government of Pakistan.

Previously there was a manual system of record keeping. It was not as much efficient as the

new system. The system is implemented to develop a new way of school management or

record keeping. Figure 2 is a use case diagram used in process model for developing the

system. It provides basic infrastructure for the system (application). It gives us the user and

system responses, how it works.

3.1. Sample of Research

Figure 2 Use Case Diagram of School Management System



For this purpose, we use 315 out of 498 high and higher secondary schools of Punjab

district Faisalabad. Research consists of 63.25% of schools. Initially the system was

implemented in schools there was too many new things that were, observed such as most of

the teachers don’t understand this system and not feel comfortable with the system. The

system was implemented in mid of 2020.

3.2. Instruments and Procedures

The heads or representatives of schools were call upon to give us feedback or what they

observed after implementing the system. There was questionnaires and semi-structured

interviews of heads of the schools. These types of question were asked to the heads from

research perspective (1) what are the heads findings regarding the overall improvement of

school (2) what improvements were observed in teachers activities (3) what benefits did the

students get from the system (4) what were the difficulties faced while using new system (5)

what are your suggestions for the improvements of the system.

5. CONCLUSION

Information technology is a relatively new field in educational management that needs

intensive study not only on system use in schools, but also on their effects on school

processes and perhaps results that are among the major priority areas for future research Is

one. MIS assistance in effective school management. With the lack of forms of technology

and techniques used in this area, there are problems to enable users to use the currently

available data. Research can have a major role in supporting educational efforts and practice

in this area. School management system improves the standards of pedagogical work of

schools in effective manners. It helps students, teachers and heads in their work. It is easy for

the heads to make decisions with help of system that enhance the standard of their work as

well. It becomes helpful for teachers and students to evaluate their performances. School

management system application change the way as the managements of schools work. The

results of the system after implementation shows that there is a significant difference of style

of work of school management. Moreover, it works for decision-making, e-communicating

among heads, teachers and students.
