Managing and handling the activities of schools is considered to be a difficult task. Each and every department is important to be handled in a school in order to ensure its proper functioning. With the fast growing use of technology across the world and the internet is also increasing on a rapid rate. Almost everything is being done today with the help of the internet. There are many kinds of software’s available in the world of computers and internet with the help of which many tasks have become easy. The gross list of advantages of the school management software is to serve everyone involved in the academic process from the administrators who oversees the school operations, teachers, students, staff, parents who anxiously awaits the completed project and the staff which gets the process up and running.

School management ERP software provides a set of tools – a roadmap that enables school
administrators to smoothly run the institution and do so in a way that demonstrates efficiency, costsaving and ingenuity. The major departments that actually need to be harmonized and upgraded with the most advanced technological tools are;

ADMINISTATIVE, STUDENTS, TEACHERS, PARENTS. The software completely harmonizes the relationships between these four core appendages of the school system
Administrative: The school management administrative system is a computerized program which helps in effective and controlled running of the operations of your school. This software is considered to be perfect for storing, mining, controlling and centralizing of the activities of the entire school. In also maintains the record of the data of the entire educational institute which can be used as and when required. The administrator can monitor and manage process and work flow such as documentation much faster and efficient. Sub appendages of the admin features are

a) Fees management
b) School Information Management which includes; I. Staff leave and attendance management II. Inventory Management III. Audit Management Module IV. Time Table generation/ management V. Calendars/ Announcement manager

c) Welfare Management
d) Health Management System
e) Library Management and E-Library Advantages to School Administration  Easy management of staff and Student database  Comprehensive reporting system  Easy annual planning and tracking  Low cost of maintenance  Work load on administrative departments is reduced  Global Accessibility and communication  Viewing analysis of academic performance of both teachers and staffs  And lots more……. Teachers: The school management software we are offering to your school has a teacher login page. This appendage has amazing features to synchronize communication between Parents – Teachers – Admin, thereby inducing a modern system of learning called Active learning In active learning every individual is completely involved in the passing of knowledge to the pupil in form of deep learning. What is obtainable currently in the educational system in Nigeria is a teacher monopoly system of education where the teachers are given the sole responsibility to pass on knowledge to the pupil while the parents and school admin only watch the outcome and student performance. At eklipse consults we believe this is the time to involve every individual that is close to the ward to be actively involved in his/her training. Time to say goodbye to the days where a student goes to school, has 2/20 scores in his continuous assessment test; he/she goes home, meets his/her parents who asked how was school? The student always says fine because there was no means for the parent to find out what he/she scored in the class test in school. Over the years in the educational system in Nigerian and many African countries, parents can only view the performance of their wards either at the end of the term/semester and at the end of the academic sessions via the students report sheet.

The revolution of this system has come for educational institution with eklipse consults ground breaking partnership with GOOGLE and the world leading MICROSOFT. Taking attendance for example in classrooms in the traditional manner of roll-call has been an inefficient one, it is a time taking process one in which the teacher is forced to use his/her productive time in carrying out an administrative task. The frustration increases if this attendance data is then required to be converted into a digital form by uploading it on excel spreadsheet or on the computer or manually translating it from the attendance register to a school management system. This demands the precious time of teachers to be spent on marking attendance instead of teaching students. Following the estimated statistics available there 200millionschools in the world, who spend an average of 3hours daily taking attendance manually in all their classrooms. That is an estimated total of 600million hours per day which is equal to 70000 years every day. If your school is on fore front of using technology, this would put you on the fore front of the others using the most advanced smart attendance system which makes use of artificial intelligence to automate attendance taking. Teachers can also give remarks about student performance to parents. Scores for each subject test, exams etc are also inputted directly on the software. With this system there would be no need for huge paper inventory for reporting performance of the students. A few lists of the advantages/ features of the teachers log in page are;
➢ Automated Student Attendance and Records
➢ Communication System between Parent - Students - Admin and Teachers
➢ Improvement in Organizational structuring of school
➢ Improved data storing, mining etc. ➢ Lesson note management system ➢ School Holidays, Event management ➢ Computerized management of marks and grades
Timetable management system Note that our attendance taking system is one feature that really distinguishes us from every other school management system available in Africa. We make use of the most advance system of taking attendance that would not involve calling of names but a complete revolution through the use of RFID (radio frequency identity) card in which the id card of each student would be changed to an rfid card so that each student can easily touch his/her card on the reader to take attendance or for more advance installation we also have the capability to install a NFC(near field communication) reader in the school with a wide range and UHF(ultra-high frequency cards). In this case once the students come within the perimeter range of the school, the attendance is automatically taken and a sms is automatically sent to the parent of the child that his/her ward has arrived school. In the same manner once the child leaves the school premises also it marks it that the child has left school and also sent a message to the parent. For further extension of this technology, we can also install sub-systems into each school bus (transport system) so that each parent can actually track the current location of his/her child in the bus and also view the bus progress through their gps enabled phone. Parents: To many, this is the most exciting appendage of the school management system. It will be of no good if a school management system performs outstanding administrative tasks within the school when the parents cannot be informed or involved, or does not have a role to play in the learning process of their wards. Parents can now have wealth of information daily, weekly, monthly about what is going on with their wards in school without going to the school, waiting for the end of the term/semester for report sheets and so on. They have a login page where they can interact with the teachers be in active participation of the school activities. Parents also have a wealth of information at their palms via a mobile device, or computer on the child’s attendance, progress performance, and fee payment, prior information about school events and holidays. For more advanced schools we also have a platform for the most advanced transport system monitoring. In this system, once the pupil boards the school bus, parents would receive a message that their child has boarded the school bus, and vice versa when the pupil comes out of the bus. To make this system more intriguing, parents can also track the movement of the bus via the gps system on their internet enabled device; this system allows parents to know exactly where the bus and also the school admin can determine how many students are on board, monitor the driver’s performance. Students: Most of the features that would be obtainable from the student appendage would be based on each schools specification such as, assignment submission and assessment, online interaction between teachers and admin, e-library, educational games during holidays, studying materials and
books, school information (holidays, examination schedules, school events etc.), features like students comment on teachers performance would be based on schools specification. NOTE: All features on the 4 major appendages are extremely flexible based on the specification and interest of your school, some features such as health management system can be deactivated if your school doesn’t have a health unit, and other features can also be added for the interest and improved operational performance of your school. All our systems are built by Microsoft. We also have a ground breaking agreement with Microsoft that once your school has this system in operation for a period of 1session, your school name would be listed on Microsoft website which is outstanding raising the standard of your school to the global scale. Our goal is to raise the standard of every educational institution across Africa with the most advanced technological tools obtainable worldwide. Few years from today the tools we offer to you today would be the standard of every school worldwide, same revolution that occurred in the banking industry is here to hit the educational system and we are proud to bring to the best, most advanced, durable and sustainable school management system.

Among many unique things about https://schoolsfocus.net is this very interesting one:
You may choose to have your school website and portal available via a domain (website address) your school owns without having any trace of their name in your URL when people visit your school site.
Assuming your school owns the domain www.xyzschool.com, (you may not need to border about a hosting service) your school website and portal can be made available on that your school domain, so that people who visit www.xyzschool.com land directly on your school website without being redirected to another URL.

Enough of me talking....
