CHAPTER ONE

• INTRODUCTION

There were three fundamentally distinct education system in Nigeria in 1990: the indigenous system, Quranic schools, and formal European-style education institutions. In the rural areas where the majority lived, children learned the skills of farming and other work, as well as the duties of adulthood, from participation in the communal. This process was often supplemented age-based schools in which groups of youth buy were instructed community responsibilities by mature men. By the 1970s education exports were asking how the system could be integrated into the more formal schooling of the young but the question remained unresolved by 1990. western-style education came to Nigeria with the missionaries in the mid-nineteenth century. Although the first mission school was founded in 1843 by methods, it was the Anglican Church Missionary Society that pushed forward in the early 1850s to found a chain of missions and schools. Followed quickly in the late 1850s by the Roman Catholic. In 1887 in what is now Southern Nigeria, an education department was founded that began setting curricula requirements and administered grants to the mission societies. By 1914, when north and south were united into one colony, there were fifty-nine government and ninety-one mission schools in the south: all eleven secondary except for King’s College in Lagos were run by the missions. The education system focused strongly on examinations in 1916 redirect Iugard. First governor of the Enfield colony set up a school inspectorate. Discipline buildings and adequacy of teaching staff were to be inspected, but the most points given to a school’s performance went to the members and rankings of its examination results. The stress on examinations was still used in 1990 to judge results and to obtain qualifications for jobs in government and the private sector.

As more information is made available in a variety of formats and media and in a variety of locations, the need to mage information/data efficiently become more and more critical. Both staff and public users want access to stored information and want to access more efficiently. It is the University policy to improve both the efficiency and effectiveness of course registration and result processing operations and services through the implementation of an integrated automated database system.

• BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Caritas University is made up of four (4) faculties namely:

1. Engineering with the following departments: Computer, Mechanical, Chemical, and Electrical and Electronics Engineering.

2. Environmental with the following departments:

Architecture, Urban & Regional Planning, and Estate

Management.

3. Management and social science with the following departments: Accountancy, Economics, Business Administration, Political Science. Industrial Relation Finance.
4. Natural Science with the following departments: Biochemistry, Computer Science & Information Technology, Industrial Chemistry, Mathematics & Statistics, and Microbiology & Biotechnology.

In Universities like Caritas, the automated method of keeping data has been there, software, so many of them have been developed and sold worldwide to solve this problem. I have analyzed this software and discovered that very many of them are inefficient. Students as well have researched and developed their own software but they could not give or develop error-free software that will assist in result generation, automated course registered to keep or build a database of results in the University that will facilitate students transcripts.

This problem has been delaying or delayed the results of graduating or graduating or graduated students that have made some of them not to go for youth service when they ought to or ought to have gone and has made some not to have gone at all. To bridge this gap or solve this problem, there is a need to develop software that is accurate, error-free as the problem has imposed so much stress on both exams and record and the management in Universities.

• STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Database of information is vital in today’s education with respect to curse registration and examination result processing. This has become a very vital issue as students spend so much time trying to know the number of credit units for each semester. This problem has lead to time wasting, inaccuracy of result and even open to fraud. Cases of missing results have been recorded thereby making examination processing more difficult and untimely.

• OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The objectives of this study are to:

1. Provide a reliable solution to result processing that is corruption free.
2. Ensure that normal credits load in line with schools is maintained.
3. Provide a software that will generate results that are accurate, timely and error-free.

• SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The project work will help in a good number of ways to delay in manual examination processing.

The software developed will help schools management to achieve an efficient information management system.

There are many other advantages, and some of them listed below:

1. It saves time during examination processing
2. Database for course registration and examination results is maintained.
3. References are very fast and delays can be avoided.
4. It allows easy access to stand information
5. Help in reducing the cost such as labor, inventory and stationary
6. Generation of accurate results/information on transactions is sure.

• SCOPE OF THE STUDY

This research work will concentrate on course ad examination processing system using Caritas University (Computer Science & Information Technology Department) as a case study. The system developed will only cover registration of students, course registered and result processing.

• DEFINITION OF TERMS/VARIABLES

Information system: It is a collection of procedures, people, Instruction and equipment to produce, Information in a useful form.

Technology: It is a study of techniques or process of mobilizing resource (such as information for accomplishing objectives that benefit man and his environment.

Information: Information can be defined as the processing of gathering, transmitting, receiving, storing and retrieving data or several items put together to convey the desired message.

Computer Network: Computer Network is s system that connects two or more computer together using a communication link.

Database: A systematically arranged collection on computer data, structured so that it can be automatically retrieved or manipulated. It is also called databank.

File transfer: Any kind of computer file sent via the internet from one internet user to another. Table of accounts on spreadsheets, design by graphic artists, music sound files etc, can all be exchanged in the way.
