The administration system overcomes some of the inefficiencies and problems related to report generation, annual time table generation, daily time table generation and financial account administration processes. It is mainly focused to keep the automated administration process with parallel to the existing paper document based system. In addition to that, by providing a school web site, it is supported to maintain continuous relationship between parents, children, and school and class teacher. The website interacted with this administration system helps parents to observe information of their child?s academic progress, attendance information and comments, and notifications via a particular user account in continuous manner. The backend of the system is based on object oriented concepts. The in-house software and website uses Visual Studio C#.Net environment with .NET 4.0 framework, SQL Server 2008 and Crystal reports. For the quality assurance process it was used actual samples of data. Therefore the accuracy of the system is highly guaranteed. The Graphical user interfaces were designed with Windows Presentation foundation. Therefore it is ensured that the user will be provided high quality and interactive interfaces to communicate with the system.
