Abstract

Sindh government has presented a system for observing schools called the Sindh School Monitoring System (SSMS) Framework. One of the part of the system is SSMS app, which is based on Android. SSMS app is widely used in the Sindh province in order to monitor the school with major focus on attendance. The SSMS app has increased the system performance in terms of attendance, however several flaw are present in its current framework. This paper identifies the key issues in the current framework such as identification and verification of Monitoring assistant (MA), school search options and SMC, teacher performance evaluation, reporting, curriculum, student performance evaluation and census, school building details, SNE, school amenities, GR register, NADRA verification, rights of MAs and online reporting options in the app. The changes are proposed in the existing framework, for the said key issues, which could improve the overall system performance. In order to validate the key findings and proposed changes in the existing framework a questionnaire has been prepared and evaluated from the SSMS app users. All the app users validated the proposed changes in the framework.
