lol @ "Call me if you think you can afford me"

We have one such software which we can customise for you.

I agree with those who say you have to be careful. It has to be a piece of software that is relevant to the way the particular school works and their education system. e.g. an American Education system is far different from that used by most African countries, which are more inclined toward European Systems. Even so, countries define their own education systems.

Things like

[li]keeping track of teachers,[/li]
[li]keeping track of attendance,[/li]
[li]administrations of registration classes,[/li]
[li]administration of subject classes,[/li]
[li]administration of academic levels[/li]
[li]generation of academic report cards (or reports),[/li]
[li]calculation of grade point averages, [/li]
[li]administration of exams or tests/quizzes[/li]
[li], etc[/li]
[/list]

Simple things like naming of academic levels can make the big difference.

In the European or british system, there are Grades 1 to 7, Forms 1 to 4(Junior Certificate and General Certificate in Education), Forms 5 to 6 (A-Level or AS Level)

In America, Quizzes are what others call Tests.

In South Africa there are Standards then Senior Matric

Botswana follows an education system system closer to the British

Then you have things that are specific to schools. How they grade students internally may be a bit different from how they do so in general when they sit for exams.

Teacher may also administer their own registration classes and subject classes.

So many things to consider which if not though about and addressed properly could result in the rejection of the software.

I have worked at developing and implementing such software for over two years and had to learn it the hard way. Talk to the clients and find out everything concerning:
- the administration/management of the school
- the administration/management of classes
- administration/management of teachers and students
- administration/management of exams and tests
- criteria & assessment of performance

And how all these relate to what they want in the software. You may find out that they dont necessarily want it to involve administration of levies and payments OR that they just want class administration software OR academic report generation software.

What is also important is that you should be able to generate print-outs or reports that are relevant to that particular school. E.g. Top 8 students, Best results, Worst Results, Best Performing etc

When someone thinks "School Administration", they think its simple. Truth is, it isnt.
