Background of the Study
Secondary school admission processes in Mangu LGA, Plateau State, are often characterized by administrative inefficiencies, delays, and limited access to data-driven decision-making tools. Many schools struggle to handle the large volume of applicants and ensure fair, transparent, and efficient selection processes. AI-based decision support systems offer a promising solution to streamline the admission process by leveraging machine learning algorithms to evaluate student applications based on predefined criteria such as academic performance, attendance, and socio-economic background (Oluwaseun & Ladi, 2023). This study aims to investigate how AI-based decision support systems can enhance the secondary school admission process in Mangu LGA, Plateau State, making it more efficient and transparent.
Statement of the Problem
The secondary school admission process in Mangu LGA, Plateau State, is often inefficient due to the manual handling of applications, lack of standardized criteria, and limited decision-making support. AI-based decision support systems can automate and optimize the admission process, reducing human error, bias, and delays. This study seeks to explore the potential benefits of implementing such systems in secondary schools in Mangu LGA.
Objectives of the Study
To assess the current state of the secondary school admission process in Mangu LGA, Plateau State.
To design and implement an AI-based decision support system for enhancing the school admission process.
To evaluate the effectiveness of the AI-based system in improving the efficiency, transparency, and fairness of the admission process.
