5 reasons why schools need more than just a school management system

Decoding the loopholes in the education system, The International Bureau of Education, comments, “While it is important to underscore the value of curriculum to holistic and sustainable development, it is also prudent to recognise the various sources of systematic barriers within education systems that could derail the design, development, and implementation of quality curricula. Even the best curriculum can be undermined by systemic constraints such as poor governance, insufficient consultation with stakeholders in the decision-making process, the lack of appropriately qualified teachers, inadequate physical facilities, and inadequate financing of teaching and learning materials, to name a few.”

By 2030, India is estimated to be the third-largest economy and will be home to one of the youngest populations in the world. This means by 2030, the ‘young population’ of the country should have access to quality education to make the latter prosper. Ensuring a steady growth in the sector, the New Education Policy got conceptualised paving the way for experiential and holistic learning in schools.

Since a school entity is a dynamic structure and its functions keep expanding and evolving, customising its operations every so often, and keeping an error-free record becomes difficult. This expansion also makes manual handling impracticable. To simplify school administrative tasks, tech-friendly mediums started surfacing offering seamless technology to assist schools with their daily functioning across various departments.

The ongoing circumstances have undoubtedly put children’s academic life in jeopardy. Virtual classes did blur the line between classrooms and homeschooling but failed to assure quality learning. It just remained a medium to connect learners with educators, sadly, which was not enough.

How can this void be filled?

LMS (Learning Management System) is now an integral part of multiple premier schools in India that ensures guaranteed results for every stakeholder besides easy supervision. LMS goes beyond a school management system to provide a holistic learning environment for students. It restructures the learning process for children, converts remote learning into an excellent and wholesome experience, and renders a well-curated curriculum.

A school that has a fine balance of LMS and a school management system accomplishes better results along with world-class learning to its students.

A school management system doesn’t let a child maintain a routine, gives no guarantee of assured learning from trained teachers, and fails to impart unhindered and uninterrupted education. 

Perhaps, it’s time for schools to look beyond fee management, seamless attendance, quick admission, and inventory management. It’s time for them to assure quality learning with guaranteed results.

 A school would know it’s time to look beyond the School Management System when:

• It has no elements of quality or assured learning.
• The curriculum remains haphazardly arranged with little engagement factor.
• The teachers are not well-trained to juggle between online/offline classes.
• The involvement of parents in their ward’s academic journey remains minimal.
• The school is unable to switch between online/offline mode of education hampering children’s academic calendar.
