DESIGN AND MAINTENANCE OF A WEBSITE CASE STUDY OF WAEC

ABSTRACT

With the advance in technology more in particular in the field of computer related organization, a lot of things are now automated. As a matter of fact, Information technology has a vital role in the design and maintenance of a website for Examination enrollment system.

Almost all our Higher Institution has gone into Design and maintenance of a website for Examination enrollment system because of the extraordinary benefit resulting from information technology. Information technology has enabled for Examination enrollment system to work successfully.

With this Design and maintenance of a website for Examination enrollment system, students’ data/information is well collected, processed and stored for the management purpose.

ORGANIZATION OF WORK

            This project work is primarily designed to give an insight to Design and maintenance of a website for Examination enrollment system.

            Chapter one talks about introduction to Design and maintenance of a website for Examination enrollment system, study of problem and objectives as well as definition of the scope.

            Chapter two comprises the literature review. Chapter three gives the detailed information about the existing (old) system, while chapter four and five deals with the design and implantation of new system.

            Chapter six document the project work, while chapter seven summaries,  conclusion and suggestions were made.

INTRODUCTION

As most nations of the world are becoming information technology inclined, Nigeria is not left behind. Even as most organizations and companies in the foreign countries have implemented information technology in their films, likewise most of Nigeria’s organizations and companies have also enjoyed the benefits of information technology.

            Even as most foreign countries like America, China and India are experiencing information technology boom, Nigeria is yet to come to such level. With the communication satellite launched recently in our country will explore the hidden treasure of information technology.

            As I consider the design and maintenance of a website Design and maintenance of a website for Examination enrollment system, it is necessary to mention here that information technology have a lot to play in achieving this. Implementing on line entrance examination administration system entails having access to internet, having a website and the place of strong and reliable database can not be over emphasized.

            All these must be put into consideration and they are well treated in the subsequent section of this project work.

BACKGROUND

The West African Examinations Council was established in 1952 following the acceptance of the Jeffery Report by the then colonial Government(s) in the Gold Coast (now Ghana), Nigeria, Sierra-Leone and the Gambia; who passed appropriate ordinances in their Legislative Assemblies in 1951. The ordinances charged the Council with the responsibility of determining the examinations required in the public interest in West Africa, and empowered it to conduct such examinations and award appropriate certificates. The Jeffery Report had strongly recommended the setting up of a West African Examinations Council in the then four British colonies of Nigeria, Gold Coast, Sierra-Leone and The Gambia. Liberia later joined the Council in 1974.

The ordinances have now been replaced with the Convention which confers legal personality on the Council as an international organisation.
