INTRODUCTION
A student’s result is the criteria for the measurement of the student’s capability in terms of academic work in the school. It is also used to measure a student’s capability in each subject offered by the student. Without an adequate results processing system, the aim for which results are produced may not be achieved, because of slightest mistake made during the process might lead to a very big problem, which may reduce or eradicate the ability to grade a student from his school result.
For this reason an effective, efficient and error free results processing system should be designed and implemented in our schools for proper running of the schools system.
This project is therefore embarked upon to design and implement a computerized results processing system for secondary schools using Federal Government College Enugu as a case study to know the problems encountered in the manual system and how these problems can be solved.
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The Federal Government College Enugu (FGCE) is a secondary or high school in Enugu, Enugu State, Nigeria. The school was created by the Nigerian government in 1973 as one of the federally-funded "Unity schools" to bring together students from regions across Nigeria. The school has facilities for both boarding and day students. Students range from Junior Secondary One (JS1) through Senior Secondary Three (SS3). Students must complete the
Federal Common Entrance Exams in order to apply for attendance. There are approximately 3000 students in attendance. The secondary school has produced a number of prominent alumni, including a former governor of ( Kaduna State), the serving Cross River State
Governor, ministers, captains of industry, and a number of other highly placed individuals in society. FGCE has an outstanding academic reputation and boasts an enviable history of sports triumphs. The school is situated on a large campus in independence layout, an upscale residential area in the heart of Enugu, the capital city of Enugu State.
The school has been outstanding in academic performance and was honored as the Best Unity in WAEC May/June 2002. Mr IC Adigwe and Mr SN Abia were some of the great leaders who were past principals of this great school.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Personal interview with some staff of Federal Government College Enugu revealed that the manual method adopted in results processing pose some problem, these problems include the following:
1. POOR SECURITY OF DOCUMENTS: Printed documents often get lost at each point in time some of these documents get eaten by termite and other insects, some are taken away by intruders while other are easily misplace by those in charge of it.
Students also may have access to the result sheet and increase their scores.
2. UNTIMELY PROCESSING RESULTS: The period of time available for the processing of results makes the job through for teachers. This short period of time which ranged from the end of the exams to the day of vacation makes teachers work round the clock to make sure vacation, but most of the times teachers find it impossible to cope with this short period of time,
as a result of this results are ready sometimes weeks after vacation.
3. PRODUCTION OF INACCURATE RESULTS:
Sometimes mistakes are being made by teachers during the calculation of total scores of a student in a particular subject, average scores and grades of students this lead to the production of inaccurate results.
1.3 AIM AND OBJECTIVES
All efforts in this research are geared towards the gathering of sufficient information’s that would help in making useful suggestions for the alleviation of manual processing of results in secondary schools. Considering the processing speed, storage and retrieve of information facilities, the computer becomes indispensable in results processing. The aim and objectives of this project is to design software which can perform the following.
1. Eradicate the frustration student undergo when one students result is given to another or when one students, results is miscalculated due to manual error.
2. Reduce the length of time spent trying to process students results.
