Software to record students’ progress

LONG before the School-Based Assessment (PBS) system was introduced by the Education Ministry in 2011, a retired teacher had designed a software to help schools record the academic achievements of their students.

Unlike the PBS system which requires teachers to manually key in the data online, the software, which is currently used by close to 300 schools, runs on a network system and provides a detailed analysis including the expected grade of the student and the projected improvement of the results for the following year.
