Grading System

1.4 Significance of the Study

The computers provide convenience to its user through the easier and faster way of recording information. Population of students in almost all-educational institution is rapidly increasing so great demand in teaching force is also becoming higher.

Grading System is a very important aspect of a school’s operations and goals. The students are graded to measure their performance and knowledge in every grading period. Teachers spend massive time to accurately compute the grades of the students using their calculators, and, in earlier times, teachers manually solve grades using paper and pen.

The cumulative purpose of the grading system is to supply the parent a composite statement of educational process in a specified period of time for the student in selected areas of learning.

Acomputerized grading system for Ministry Catholic School will provide a marked improvement in the way teachers record and compute for the grades of students. The study will be a great help to the following:

* Faculty Teachers

Teachers would be able to record and compute for the grades of their students faster thereby lessening their workload and providing them with added time to attend to other functions. This in turn would improve their efficiency as teachers.

* School Administrators

School Administrators no longer have to re-compute the grades of each student to check on their accuracy. Reports such as grading sheets and class records can be submitted on time.

* Students

Students can now look forward to better lessons since their teachers would have added time to prepare for them their lesson plans.
