Background of the Study
Grading systems are fundamental to the educational process, providing students with feedback on their academic performance and helping educators track student progress. Traditional grading systems, which often rely on manual record-keeping and paper-based grading methods, can be prone to errors, inefficiencies, and delays. The implementation of a digital grading system offers a solution to these challenges by automating the grading process, ensuring accuracy, and improving the efficiency of managing student grades.
In Gombe Local Government Area, Gombe State, secondary schools often face challenges in grading due to the use of manual systems. Teachers may encounter difficulties in calculating and recording grades, and students may experience delays in receiving their grades. A digital grading system could streamline these processes, providing timely and accurate results. This study aims to explore the implementation and impact of a digital grading system in secondary schools in Gombe.
