Best Girls School in Kumbakonam
High schools have rapidly adapted
computers in their administration, management
and academy. School management uses papers
and computers as tools to store the
administrative and management data. However
computers are not used to analyze data and
output information. Therefore, e-School
Management System (e-SMS) is developed to
facilitate teaching and administration staffs to
manage school activities in high schools and
parents to have in-time information about the
performance of their child. As a result, users
found that e-SMS is capable of offering reliable
and correct information and communication
among teachers, parents, students and the
general public and improved the management
process in schools. Findings are presented and
recommendations are provided.
High schools have rapidly adapted computers
in their management as tools to store the
administrative and management data. However
computers are not used to analyze data and
output information. In Macedonia, the classical
method of management and administration of
learning and school activities is practiced in all
secondary schools. The fact is that this classical
approach of management is not appropriate and
contains various deficiencies such as keeping
records on paper, face-to-face
miscommunication, misuse of a position, not-intimely information and communication,
inadequate communication and information
among school staff itself, students and parents
and other deficiencies. Therefore, e-School
Management System (e-SMS) is developed to
facilitate teaching and administration staff to
manage school activities in high schools and
parents to have in-time information about the
performance of their student/child.
The study is conducted through qualitative
testing method using a questionnaire consisted of
20 questions about the profilization, academic
background, computer skills; usage and attitude
towards different features of electronic school
management activities and have they used and do
they believe e-applications. Participants were
students, teaching and administrative staff and
parents of 3 high schools-in Kumanovo, RM. 15
teachers, 41 parents and 5 administrators filled-in

alienated into four sections: “General

towards different features of electronic school
management”, „Attitude towards reliability and
quality of management in e-school management“
and „have they used and believe e-applications“.

percentages, graphics and diagrams. Screen shots
