Student Management Systems An Emerging Paradigm in Education Block

by Lead School Consultant

The education sector is at an exciting turn. Technological advancements are revolutionising how learning is imparted to students, and the ongoing pandemic has expedited that. Technology for schools is now considered a crucial element rather than just a luxury. The pandemic has been a stark reminder to the fraternity about the redundancies attached to the sector and its importance to leave conventional approaches behind to stay relevant. For example, the sector screeched to a halt when the COVID-19 crisis was declared a pandemic. Though the sector tried to survive with online learning, its unreliability was exposed when students showed no result or when schools witnessed a massive dip in their revenue.

Online learning is just a medium to connect students with teachers. It doesn’t assure quality or new-age learning solutions that are imperative in times like these.  Schools are now taking a smart approach to save the sector from an irrevocable catastrophe, including the incalculable learning loss. Smart schools supported by ERP software helps schools provide undisrupted learning and assist them in navigating through schools’ every function. While learning becomes easy, parents can also stay worry-free with smart schools. Student management systems powered by ERP helps teachers manage their classes better with quality learning resources, for everything is streamlined on a  single platform.

 

Why structure is important in online learning

When schools unexpectedly shut and owners shifted to online mediums, the timeframe was unknown—for everyone, it was a temporary arrangement. However, after more than a year and a half of school closures, the fraternity has agreed that a reliable structure is needed to combat the future crisis to save the sector from the loss experienced during the COVID crisis.

To cater to 21st-century kids, mere online learning won't work; a structure that serves their new-age needs will flourish, the rest would perish.

Smart learning era

Even before the pandemic, the education sector was in a crisis, and the crisis has just exacerbated it. To save the sector from further plummeting, schools need to flex, give up on the stigma around online learning, and experiment with better and contemporary ways of learning that would not crumble with any crisis/pandemic. Smart learning:

·                     Ensures undisrupted learning

·                     Gives an option to school owners of hybrid learning

·                     Ensures regular connect between teachers and parents

·                     Offers in-time monitoring of students

·                     Gives quality resources to students to learn from

·                     Makes learning beyond the textbooks possible

·                     Makes flexible learning possible

·                     Gives an option to revisit the lessons in case students miss their classes

 

A revolution long due is finally on the anvil. Though a prime driver for any country’s economy, the education sector has been following redundant practices for many years resulting in poor performance of children, their inability to match the needs of the employers, etc. If this is not timely addressed, the upcoming generation can pose some serious threat to the country’s development.

 

It’s better late than never

Technology has been kept at bay not just in developing countries but has been a global concern. Fortunately or unfortunately, the pandemic has started a revolution that will go a long way. A smart way of education is the new reality for schools worldwide. Not only do they ensure undisrupted education at all times, but it also ensures that quality learning is happening in schools. All stakeholders can sigh relief, and students are not distracted like the way they used to in an ordinary online structure. The ongoing situation has challenged every aspect of the sector. It's time to hit back the crisis with a robust module. 2020 will be a year to remember in many ways, but the way it changed education perhaps remains the most crucial.
