Can You Build A Result Checking Portal For A School?

I am highly flabbergasted by the position most webmasters have taken towards this topic. I cannot help but suspect that most of the contributors to this thread probably had their secondary education outside Nigeria.

The Fact is that WAEC Usually sends a Master copy of results to all secondary schools, since they (the schools) are the ones responsible for the issuance of Statement of Result to the students. The online result checker is just a recent development and is meant to compliment the old methods. It is only the private WAEC exam (external) that results are gotten exclusively on the online portal. So the issue of gaining access to WAEC’s database does not arise.

The school probably wants all its manual WAEC data (old and current) put into a database, and make it accessible to all its graduate students at a fee. This should be a straightforward task.

webmasters @ nairaland

you guys are skilled @ chasing shadows instead of the substance. Where did all this talk about NECO and WAEC come up from and took away thereall substance of this tread? you people will be here arguing blindly about interfacing NECO, JAMB, TOFEL, GMAT, PHD , etc and someone else will collect the job under una nose.

The guy tat posted this clearly expalined what he meant when he said NECo and WAEC but una no wan hear, just keep arguing about what dosnt matter.

please can we gett back to the main issue and leave shadows?

I think this is what people that seek attention do all the time. They try to slander people so they look good, sorry you have failed.

I doubt if people have been bidding for this project on this thread so I don't know where the guy got the idea that someone may collect the contract while people are arguing.

But for abhosts that provided information that NECO/WAEC actually send master copy of results to all schools the general impression has been that people check their results online using the NECO/WAEC portal.

If according to abhosts all schools have access to the original results then any school can develop a result checking portal.

If otherwise, then any result checking portal will have to go through NECO/WAEC database and it will not be free or possible without an understanding with NECO/WAEC and in this case all the issues that people have pointed out remain valid.

This is as easy as implementing any access control feature. Restricting access based on login credentials, in this case say the pins and student names.

The same way you are able to login to read emails even when thousands or even millions have their emails on the same database.

Will hopefully advice (if need be) anyone willing to handle the project as my firm cannot do so due to other on going projects.

It may even be simpler and cheaper for the school to just provide the relevant pins directly to parents (and ultimately to students as some parents may not be computer literate so will still rely on their children to access the results) rather than printing and distributing scratch cards (just cost implications).

oOOOO, So na just now una dey understand wetin the guy yarn @ first, na I'm una dey talk NECO , GCE, JAME etc since???

na wa o

guy? mr yusuf re u expecting d guy to choose u

nduaj, u shld have read through before blabbing

all that talk about JAMB, NECO, etc got me thinking
its nt all about the contracts

i've spotted opportunities

why would NECO and waec want people to access results from 3rd party.

first, d schools get the original result. did u possibly think that the school cld use the site to let students know that original results are available and allow students check results as an incentive
do u know how stressful it is to access neco's site

do u know d pains neco & co face wt server downtimes/failures
they'D b glad if someone took a little load off them
how many students cld be in the school

if i needed d project, id b at neco's office.

Let's think big!

i've learnt something new, MA, let's talk about that
