 ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT:

7|P ag e
School management system will be responsible for performing various actions
such as maintaining and managing student records, managing admission
details and setting admission criteria for admission into various stream for
particular classes, managing users who are working within the school,
preparing time tables and routines for the studying students and teachers,
providing online assistance help for the studying students, keeping parents
records and health records of students for future references. All these tasks
can be achieved easily through this new school management system. As
system has been developed by divining into several modules so maintenance
work can be easily carried out without the need of technical assistance.

To work with this system each users will have its unique id and password
through which they access this particular system. To manage and integrate
various modules and to eliminate the concept of data redundancy each
modules will have data sharing property with other modules as and when
required. For each module there will be unique for each of their members such
as family details of a particular students, student records, staff members
details, student class relationship, teacher, class and student relationship etc.
The main reason for providing unique id for each member of a particular
module is to developed a medium of fast identification to make our coding
more optimized for better performance.

Introduction :

Background Education system forms the backbone of every

nation. And hence it is important to provide a strong
educational foundation to the young generation to ensure the
development of open-minded global citizens securing the
future for everyone. Advanced technology available today can
play a crucial role in streamlining education-related processes
to promote solidarity among students, teachers, parents and
the school staff. Education is central to development. It is one
of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and
inequality and lays a foundation for sustained economic
growth. With this aim currently our government has given
special emphasis to the educational sector and school
improvement activities such as continuous professional
development for teachers, training and upgrading teachers
and capacitating schools with manpower and materials are
among the major actions which have been taken in both
primary and secondary schools. In order to facilitate and
simplify these actions one of the major tool is to have
automated school management system. School Management
System(SMS) consists of tasks such as registering students,
10 | P a g e
attendance record keeping to control absentees, producing
report cards, producing official transcript, preparing timetable
and producing different reports for teachers, parents, officials
from kebele or kefle ketema education bureaus and other
stakeholders. Automation is the utilization of technology to
replace human with a machine that can perform more quickly
and more continuously. By automating SMS documents that
took up many large storage rooms can be stored on few disks.
Transcript images can be annotated. It reduces the time to
retrieve old transcripts from hours to seconds. However, the
school system in the government schools of Addis Ababa is not
automated and the record officers generate transcripts and
reports manually and the school administrators use their
experienced knowledge of miss and hit approaches to prepare
timetables

2.3 Overview of C++

C++ is a multi-paradigm programming language that supports

object-oriented programming (OOP), created by BJarne
Stroustrup in 1983 at Bell Labs, C++ is an extension (superset)
of the programs written in C.

C++ is a statically typed, compiled, general purpose, case-

sensitive, free-form programming language that supports
procedural, object-oriented and generic programming.

Note : A programming language is said to use static typing

when type checking is performed during compile-time as
opposed to run time.

2.4 Object-Oriented Programming

C++ supports object-oriented programming (OOP), with four
major principles of object-oriented development:

 Abstraction
 Encapsulation
 Inheritance
 Polymorphism

14 | P a g e
Features of Object Oriented C++

 The main focus remains on data rather than procedures.

 Object oriented programs are segmented into parts
called objects.
 Data structures are designed to categorize the objects.
 Data member and functions are tied together as a data
structure.
 Data can be hidden and cannot be accessed by external
functions using access specifier.
 Objects can communicate among themselves using
functions.

 New data and functions can be easily added anywhere

within a program whenever required.
 Since this is an object-oriented programming language,
it follows bottom up approach, i.e. the execution of
codes starts from the main which resides at the lower
section and then based on the member function call the
working is done from the classes.
 Object oriented approach is a recent concept among
programming paradigms and has various fields of
progress. Object oriented programming is a technique
that provides a way of modularizing programs by
creating memory area as a partition for both data and
functions that can further be used as a template to
create copies of modules on demand.

15 | P a g e
Standard Libraries in C++
C++ standard library was created after many years and it has
three important parts:

 C++ core language provides all the building blocks

including data types, variables and literals etc.
 The C++ Standard Library has rich set of methods to
manipulate files and strings.
 The STL(Standard Template Library) provides a rich set
of template classes for manipulating data structures.

ANSI Standard for C++

ANSI stands for American National Standard Institute & the
ANSI standard began an attempt to ensure that C++ codes
become portable – that code written for Microsoft’s compiler
will compile without having any errors can run on compilers
of MAC or Linux or any other compiler. So, all major C++
compilers support the ANSI Standard.

LEARNING C++:

The most important thing to do when learning C++ is to focus

on concepts and not get lost in language technical details.
The purpose of learning a programming language is to
become a better programmer: that is to become more
effective designing and implementing new systems and at
maintaining old ones.
C++ supports a variety of programming styles. You can write
in the style of FORTRAN, C, Smalltalk etc…, in any language.

16 | P a g e
Each style can achieve its aims effectively while maintaining
runtime and space efficiency.

Uses of C++:
C++ is used by programmers to create computer software. It
is used to create general systems software, drivers for
various computer devices, software for servers and software
for specific applications and also widely used in the creation
of video games.
C++ is used by many programmers of different types and
coming from different fields. C++ is mostly used to
write device driver programs,
System software and applications that depend on
direct hardware manipulation under real time constraints. It
is also used to teach the basics of object oriented features
because it is simple and is also used in the fields of research.
Also, many primary user interfaces and system files of
Windows and Macintosh are written using C++. So, C++ is
really a popular, strong and frequently used programming
language of this modern programming era.

17 | P a g e
2.4.1. CLASS AND OBJECT
The main purpose of C++ programming is to add object
orientation to the C programming language and classes are
the central feature of C++ that supports object-oriented
programming and are often called user-defined types.
A class is used to specify the form of an object and it
combines data representation and methods for manipulating
that data into one neat package. The data and functions
within a class are called members of the class.

C++ CLASS DEFINITIONS

When you define a class, you define a blueprint for a data
type. This doesn’t actually define any data, but it does define
what the class name means, that is, what an object of the
class will consist of and what operations can be performed
on such an object.
A class definition starts with the keyword class followed
by the class name, and the class body, enclosed by a pair of
curly braces. A class definition must be followed either by a
semicolon or a list of declarations. For example, we defined
the Box data type using the keyword class as follows:

Class Box
{
Public:
double length; // Length of a box
double breadth; //Breadth of a box
18 | P a g e
The keyword public determines the access attributes of the
members of the class that follow it. A public member can be
accessed from outside the class anywhere within the scope
of the object class as private or protected which we will
discuss in a sub-section
DEFINE C++ OBJECTS

A class provides the blueprints for objects, so basically

an object is created from class. We declare objects of a class
with exactly the same sort of declaration that we declare
variables of basic types.
Following statements declare two objects of class Box:

Box Box1; //Declare Box1 of type Box

Box Box2; //Declare Box2 of type Box

Both of the objects Box1 and Box2 will have their own copy
of data members.

19 | P a g e
2.4.2. INHERITANCE
One of the most important concepts in object-oriented
programming is that of inheritance. Inheritance allows us to
define a class in terms of another class, which makes it easier
to create and maintain an application. This also provides an
opportunity to reuse the code functionality and fast
implementation time.
When creating a class, instead of writing completely new
data members and member functions, the programmer can
designate that the new class should inherit the members of
an existing class. This existing class is called the base class,
and the new class is referred to as the derived class.
The idea of inheritance implements the ‘is a’ relationship.
For example, mammal IS-A animal, dog IS-A mammal hence
dog IS-A animal as well and so on.
Base and Derived Classes
A class can be derived from more than one class, which
means it can inherit data and functions from multiple base
classes. To define a derived class, we use a class derivation
list to specify the base class (es). A class derivation list names
one or more base classes and has the form −
class derived-class: access-specifier base-class

Where access-specifier is one of public,

protected, or private, and base-class is the name of a
previously defined class. If the access-specifier is not used,
then it is private by default.

20 | P a g e
2.4.3 FUNCTION OVERLOADING
C++ allows you to specify more than one definition for
a function name or an operator in the same scope, which is
called function overloading and operator
overloading respectively.
An overloaded declaration is a declaration that is declared
with the same name as a previously declared declaration in
the same scope, except that both declarations have different
arguments and obviously different definition
(implementation).
When you call an overloaded function or operator, the
compiler determines the most appropriate definition to use,
by comparing the argument types you have used to call the
function or operator with the parameter types specified in
the definitions. The process of selecting the most
appropriate overloaded function or operator is
called overload resolution.

Function Overloading in C++

You can have multiple definitions for the same function

name in the same scope. The definition of the function must
differ from each other by the types and/or the number of
arguments in the argument list. You cannot overload
function declarations that differ only by return type.

21 | P a g e
2.4.4. DATA ENCAPSULATION

All C++ programs are composed of the following two

fundamental elements −
 Program statements (code) − This is the part of a
program that performs actions and they are called
functions.
 Program data − The data is the information of the
program which gets affected by the program functions.
Encapsulation is an Object Oriented Programming concept
that binds together the data and functions that manipulate
the data, and that keeps both safe from outside interference
and misuse. Data encapsulation led to the important OOP
concept of data hiding.
Data encapsulation is a mechanism of bundling the data,
and the functions that use them and data abstraction is a
mechanism of exposing only the interfaces and hiding the
implementation details from the user.
C++ supports the properties of encapsulation and data
hiding through the creation of user-defined types,
called classes. We already have studied that a class can
contain private, protected and public members. By default,
all items defined in a class are private.

22 | P a g e
2.4.5 DATA ABSTRACTION

Data abstraction refers to providing only essential

information to the outside world and hiding their
background details, i.e., to represent the needed
information in program without presenting the details.
Data abstraction is a programming (and design) technique
that relies on the separation of interface and
implementation.
Let's take one real life example of a TV, which you can turn
on and off, change the channel, adjust the volume, and add
external components such as speakers, VCRs, and DVD
players, BUT you do not know its internal details, that is, you
do not know how it receives signals over the air or through a
cable, how it translates them, and finally displays them on
the screen.
Thus, we can say a television clearly separates its internal
implementation from its external interface and you can play
with its interfaces like the power button, channel changer,
and volume control without having zero knowledge of its
internals.
In C++, a class provides great level of data abstraction. They
provide sufficient public methods to the outside world to
play with the functionality of the object and to manipulate
object data, i.e., state without actually knowing how class
has been implemented internally.
For example, your program can make a call to
the sort() function without knowing what algorithm the
function actually uses to sort the given values. In fact, the
23 | P a g e
underlying implementation of the sorting functionality could
change between releases of the library, and as long as the
interface stays the same, your function call will still work.
2.4.6. DATA FILE AND STREAMS

The standard C++ library called fstream, which defines three

new data types −
Sr.No Data Type & Description

1 ofstream
This data type represents the output file stream and
is used to create files and to write information to
files.

2 ifstream
This data type represents the input file stream and
is used to read information from files.

3 fstream
This data type represents the file stream generally,
and has the capabilities of both ofstream and
ifstream which means it can create files, write
information to files, and read information from files.

To perform file processing in C++, header files <iostream>

and <fstream> must be included in your C++ source file.
OPENING A FILE

24 | P a g e
A file must be opened before you can read from it or write
to it. Either ofstream or fstream object may be used to open
a file for writing. And ifstream object is used to open a file
for reading purpose only.
Following is the standard syntax for open() function, which is
a member of fstream, ifstream, and ofstream objects.
void open(const char *filename, ios::openmode mode);

Here, the first argument specifies the name and location of

the file to be opened and the second argument of
the open() member function defines the mode in which the
file should be opened.
S.No Mode Flag & Description

1 ios::app
Append mode. All output to that file to be appended
to the end.

2 ios::ate
Open a file for output and move the read/write
control to the end of the file.

3 ios::in
Open a file for reading.

4 ios::out
Open a file for writing.

25 | P a g e
5 ios::trunc
If the file already exists, its contents will be
truncated before opening the file.

You can combine two or more of these values by ORing

them together. For example if you want to open a file in
write mode and want to truncate it in case that already
exists, following will be the syntax −
ofstream outfile;
outfile.open("file.dat", ios::out | ios::trunc );

Similar way, you can open a file for reading and writing
purpose as follows −
fstream afile;
afile.open("file.dat", ios::out | ios::in );

CLOSING A FILE
When a C++ program terminates it automatically flushes all
the streams, release all the allocated memory and close all
the opened files. But it is always a good practice that a
programmer should close all the opened files before
program termination.
Following is the standard syntax for close() function, which is
a member of fstream, ifstream, and ofstream objects.
void close();

WRITING TO A FILE
26 | P a g e
While doing C++ programming, you write information to a
file from your program using the stream insertion operator
(<<) just as you use that operator to output information to
the screen. The only difference is that you use
an ofstream or fstream object instead of the cout object.

READING FROM A FILE

You read information from a file into your program using the
stream extraction operator (>>) just as you use that operator
to input information from the keyboard. The only difference
is that you use an ifstream or fstream object instead of
the cin object.

STUDY AND ANALYSIS OF SCHOOL
MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

28 | P a g e
System Analysis In this chapter the functional and non-
functional requirements of the system are described and
modeled using UML models.
1 Functional Requirements The functional requirements of
the system are: • register a student, • record attendance of
students, • generate various reports, • generate timetable.
2 Non Functional Requirements Security requirements are
important factors in this system as classified data will be
stored in the database. User validation will be done during
login to insure that the user is valid and that the user only
has access to his or her permission data. General users will
only have access through the user interface. The system will
have consistent interface formats and button sets for all
forms in the application, will have a form based interface for
all data entry and viewing formats, and will generate reports
that are formatted in a table and that should look like the
existing manual report formats for user friendliness. The
system will be easily maintained by the developer or other
authorized trained person and it shall respond as fast as
possible in generating report and producing the timetable. -
12 - 4.3 Analysis Model To produce a model of the system
which is correct, complete and consistent we need to
construct the analysis model which focuses on structuring
and formalizing the requirements of the system. Analysis
model contains three models: functional, object and dynamic
models. The functional model can be described by use case

29 | P a g e
diagrams. Class diagrams describe the object model. Dynamic
model can also be described in terms of sequence, state
chart and activity diagrams. For the purpose of this project
we have described the analysis model in terms of the
functional model and dynamic models using use case and
sequence diagrams.

Existing System:

Under the existing system there was no any medium to make direct
communication between parents and administration. To inform
about status and study reports to particular parents of a particular
student, administration have to write letter to make them inform.
Students have to check their notice board to get information about
details about their routine, exam time tables, about their results and
marks scored in particular exam subject wise. Working employees
and staff members have to visit their bank to check their payment
confirmation monthly.

Proposed System:

Through this new school management system all the work has been
made automated and replacing the process manual work load.
Through this new system, all working employees will able to check
their payment status and total number of working days or we can say
their attendance and deduction made from their salary and for what
purpose.

Students will able to check their results, time tables and routines by
going through their student dashboard. Administration will able to
30 | P a g e
send direct messages to the parent’s inbox by using their id and
parents will check those messages and apply directly to them. This
system will able to display notices and news or events which is going
to be held in their campus.

System Design In the previous chapter we have identified the

functional and non-functional requirements of the system
and produced the analysis model. The following are
discussed in this chapter: design goals, system architecture,
system decomposition, deployment and database design
Design Goals Design goals describe the qualities of the
system that developers should optimize. Such goals are
normally derived from the non-functional requirements of
the system. Design goals are grouped into five categories.
These are • Performance • Dependability • Maintenance •
End User Criteria
Performance Criteria The part of the system to be used for
the record office should have a fast response time (real time)
with maximum throughput. Furthermore, the system should
not be taking up too much space in memory. The record
officer has chosen fast response time over throughput and
hence the system should try to be more interactive. In the
case of the timetabling subsystem, the system should be
more reliable in order to satisfy the constraints than fast
response time

31 | P a g e
Dependability The school needs the system to be highly
dependable as it is expected to be used by nonIT
professionals. The system should be robust and fault
tolerant. Furthermore, as the system is handling sensitive
data of the school, high emphasis should be given with
regards to security, as there are subsystems to be accessed
through web.
Maintenance The system should be easily extensible to add
new functionalities at a later stage. It should also be easily
modifiable to make changes to the features and
functionalities
End User Criteria Usability: Usability is the extent to which a
product can be used by specified users to achieve specified
goals with effectiveness, efficiency and satisfaction in a
specified context of use. From the end users’ perspective the
system should be designed in such a way that it is easy to
learn and use, efficient and having few errors if any. Trade-
off is inevitable in trying to achieve a particular design goal.
One best case is the issue of security versus response time.
Checking User-Id and Password before a member can enter
to the SMS creates response time problem/overhead. The
other case is the issue of response time versus quality. There
is some amount of time taken by the system to generate the
timetable. So the user has to wait a little after telling the
system to generate the timetable and getting the result to
get a quality timetable. –

32 | P a g e
Architecture of the System The proposed system is expected
to replace the existing manual system by an automated
system in all facets. It is mainly based on the system Analysis
document (chapter 4). The architecture used for the system
is a 3 tier Client/Server Architecture where a client can use
Internet browsers to access the online report provided by the
system within the local area network of the school or any
where using the Internet.
. The data tier maintains the applications data such as
student data, teacher data, timetable data etc. It stores these
data in a relational database management system (RDBMS).
The middle tier (web/application server) implements the
business logic, controller logic and presentation logic to
control the interaction between the application’s clients and
data. The controller logic processes client requests such as
requests to view student’s result, to record attendance or to
retrieve data from the database. Business rules enforced by
the business logic dictate how clients can and cannot access
application data and how applications process data. A web
server is a program that runs on a network server (computer)
to respond to HTTP requests. The most commonly used web
servers are Internet Information Server (IIS) and Apache. The
web server used in this system is IIS. HTTP is used to transfer
data across an Intranet or the Internet. It is the standard
protocol for moving data across the internet. The client tier is
the applications user interface containing data entry forms
and client side applications. It displays data to the user. Users
33 | P a g e
interact directly with the application through user interface.
The client tier interacts with the web/application server to
make requests and to retrieve data from the database. It
then displays to the user the data retrieved from the server
Persistent Data Management
Persistent data management deals with how the persistent
data (file, database, etc) are stored and managed and it
outlives a single execution of the system. Information related
to student basic information, student’s attendance and grade
mark, the timetable produced and other related information
are persistent data and hence stored on a database
management system. This allows all the programs that
operate on the SMS data to do consistently. Moreover,
storing data in a database enables the system to perform
complex queries on a large data set The schools register
students every year in thousands per grade level. For
complex queries over attributes and large dataset Microsoft
SQL Server is implemented, which is a Relational Database
Management System.

 CONCLUSION
43 | P a g e
Conclusion In this project, we developed an automated
school management system that facilitates the various
activities taking place at schools. The system developed in
the project consists of windows and web applications. These
are two different applications on the same database. The
windows application takes most of the activities such as
offline student registering, transcript and report card
generation and producing the timetable. The web application
facilitates attendance recording by the homeroom teachers
and to view reports, to view status of students by students,
teachers and parents. Our solution of the timetabling
problem is very simple. Data structures are used to
implement the timetable designed. The scheduler selects a
subject-teacher from the database, retrieves all the classes
assigned to the teacher, calculates the load of the teacher
which cannot be greater than the maximum load and selects
one of the days randomly based on the number of lessons of
the subject, searches a free appropriate time slot and assigns
the slot to the lesson. The scheduler repeats the process until
the load of the teacher becomes zero and all the teachers in
the database are visited. Finally the result generated is stored
in a database. The prototype has been tested with data from
Kokebe Tsebah Secondary School. It has been shown that the
system effectively registers students along with parental
information, easily retrieves information about a student and
generates the required reports such as transcript, report card
and timetable. In addition to generating a feasible master

44 | P a g e
timetable it produces a timetable for each teacher. Further
more it has been shown that the web application of the
system helps attendance recording by the homeroom
teacher and parents can view the status of their children
using the Internet or Intranet of the school.

As education is central to development there should be a

good facility to make stakeholders participate in school
improvement programs and decision making. Parents and
Education Bureaus from Kebele and Kifle-ketema are among
the stake holders. To facilitate easy information access to
such bodies the web application could be further enhanced
by incorporating additional reports required by Kebele and
Kifle-ketema Education Bureaus. Such facilities will increase
participants in decision making at educational activities and
students achievement. We also believe that timetables
should be flexible. In real world situations there are
preferences. A restriction of the sort that every teacher
should have some specific free periods or some part of days
off requires an efficient search technique. Efficiency of the
timetable could be further enhanced by improving the search
technique so that such constraints as preferences could be
taken into consideration.
