Background of the Study
Blockchain technology, initially developed for cryptocurrency applications, has emerged as a powerful tool for ensuring transparency, security, and immutability in various sectors, including education. In educational institutions, blockchain can be used to create secure, tamper-proof records of academic achievements, such as transcripts and certificates. By using blockchain, universities can provide a trustworthy, verifiable, and efficient system for processing and issuing academic transcripts.
In Sokoto North Local Government Area, Sokoto State, universities face challenges in securely processing and storing academic records. Traditional methods of transcript processing are vulnerable to fraud, delays, and errors. Blockchain technology offers a potential solution by providing a decentralized, transparent, and secure platform for managing and verifying academic records. This study aims to explore the feasibility, advantages, and challenges of implementing a blockchain-based transcript processing system for universities in Sokoto North.
Statement of the Problem
The traditional methods of processing academic transcripts in universities in Sokoto North Local Government Area face numerous challenges, including security risks, inefficiencies, and difficulties in verification. Students and employers often encounter delays and fraud issues when verifying academic records. The implementation of blockchain technology offers a potential solution, but the adoption and integration of such a system into the existing academic infrastructure remain underexplored. This study will explore the benefits and challenges of using blockchain for secure transcript processing.
