School access and attendance registration system based on school fees status.

Abstract

School fees status monitoring and student attendance registration are some of the most vital issues tackled by schools in Uganda. Though, establishing efficient and reasonable method of fees monitoring and attendance registration in schools is still a challenging responsibility of school organizations. Schools have been coming up with different methods of registering students’ attendances, and monitoring of fees dues especially day-schools that allow fees payment in instalment. This report includes the steps and procedures involved in coming up with a system that is able to monitor and registers students school attendances using fingerprint biometric technology. Biometrics refers to automatic Recognition of an individual based on their behavioral or physiological characteristics. Biometrics removes human error from the security equation. Fingerprint identification is one of the method in biometrics. Biometrics can be seen as a solution to a lot of the user identification and security problems in today’s life. Reliable personal recognition is critical to many business processes. A school access and attendance registration system based on school fees status. Uses fingerprint biometric technology that relies on the algorithm that; it captures the fingerprints of the student stores them to be used for matching. The gate opens automatically on correct matching of fingerprints being scanned and closes after the student passes to enter into the school. This system improves the technology of the existing systems in fees monitoring and students’ attendance registration. I designed the system in Linux environment and the code was written in python in python (also included in appendix A.1). Furthermore, the user interfaces were designed in html5 and css3 using dream waver and the database was designed using MySQL. Php was used to connect the use interface to the database.
