A pupil can enroll at ECDA and progress until grade seven at the same school or can start at one school and then transfer to several schools until he or she finishes grade 7. Both scenarios described above needs a pupil to register into a specific school system where the head of the school authorizes the registration of the pupil. The pupil or guardian approaches the head who assess the pupil documents and other check points and if all is in order the head refers to the secretary who do the manual process of registering the pupil into a relevant class and level and also facilitates the payment of registration and school fees. The current system is a manual operated system where new student are registered manually in a new, student register where admission number, student name and other details are recorded. After the student is assigned his/her class, another record is written down. The person in charge of admission of the student has to count the number of the manually. The school uses manual system in the process of administration and its data is stored on paper in files. The administration of the school collects information from students and this is the student personal details. This includes student’s name, country and village of origin, medical details and parents/ guardian details are also kept including their marital status, phone number and address. Before admission the student has to pay half the school fees. During the admission a student is issued with admission number and class. After the process the student is given a script bearing his name, admission number and the respective class. All this become more tedious wastage of time and also high cost of operation. Some of the information may be lost due to natural disaster, movement of file and also storage of files. The person who will be in charge of the system will be able to register new student, also be able to track student information without hinder. The system will have a back up if any natural disaster occurs so as to retrieve the information needed. 2021-01-01T00:00:00Z Muzikuboya, Gertrude
