Technology is evolving at a swift pace and what better than to take advantage of this ever budding global village. In today’s time, there is an online tool for everything, be it tallying your accounts or co-ordinating with employees within the firm. Thanks to invention of Internet everything can be done with just a few simple clicks.

A number of sectors like retail, art, electronics and others have happily dove into the new age wave of online tools, the educational field is not far behind. A number of developers have created online School Management Systems that are making the life of Educators simpler by the day. And by Educators I do not mean only the teachers, the School Management System can be used by every employee of the educational institute. From the admin department to the principal, all of them can be kept in the loop.

Let’s see what exactly these Schooling Systems have in store for us.

1)    Administration made Easy
Running a school is no easy task. Taking responsibility of thousands of students at once can lead to innumerable piles of paper work. Printing ID cards, Report cards, attendance sheets, exam papers and readying other such important documents is a daily task. With a well-organized Schooling System all of this can be done with minutes. And since a number of employees can use it together, there is no chance of doing unnecessary, double work.

2)    Parents-Teachers interaction
Through these systems, parents can get in touch with the teacher online. They don’t necessarily have to take an off from work and come have a word with the teacher. Personal and group discussions can be done through the features available in the system.

3)    Posting Homework, timetable, important assignments.
This is one feature every Parent and Teacher is going to cherish. Children below the age of 10 often lag in communicating school work to their parents. This is one obvious problem every school faces. By being able to post homework, time tables, assignments, holidays, etc, teachers will be able to directly inform parents about all the crucial activities and update them about the curriculum.

How these features work in the favor of the entire Schooling System:

1)    Save time
By installing a Schooling System, everyone saves a lot of time. Things no longer have to be done on paper. A few commands of Copy Paste are enough to send notes, print ID cards or even set the exam paper.

2)    Reduce Ambiguity
Running an educational institution is no child’s play. Apart from children, a number of other individuals are involved in a school, parents, teachers, administration staff, bus drivers and special help who take care of the kids. A simple online tool will inform everyone about the latest updates leaving no room for confusion.

3)    Keeping Parents in the Loop
Parents are often worried about being able to know what their kids are up to in class. A number of schools came up with ideas like installing cameras in class rooms, unfortunately this technique backfired. Instead of becoming disciplined children became uncomfortable, this in turn hampered the growth of a child. A Schooling system will do nothing like that. Children don’t need to know (unless absolutely necessary) about the discussions taking place amongst teachers and parents. This way the parent will be informed and the child will be free to learn and make mistakes.

4)    Eco-friendly
That’s right, a Schooling System is not only beneficial to the functioning of the school but also to the environment. By using online features, schools will no longer use large amount of paper. Everything will be accessible through mobile phones or computers, there will be absolutely no reason to cut down trees and turn them into long attendance sheets or other school document.

5)    Easier to Access Information
It is easier to access information through a School Management System than piles and piles of official educational files. You can simply log on to the given portal, type in the important keywords and get access to everything from the timetable of your child’s class to their results.

These features are not far away, if you are a parent, your life is about to become easier. So sit back and wait for technology to take over.
