According to Jerome Bruner, (1996), the processes and culture of education, has made a proud contribution to our appreciation of the process of education and to the development of curriculum theory. It is surely the case that schooling is only one small part of how a culture indicates the young into its canonical ways. Indeed, schooling may even be at odds with a culture’s other ways of indicating the young into requirements of communal living. has become increasingly clear, that education is not just about conventional school only school matters like curriculum or stand or testing. What we resolve to do in school only makes sense when considered in the broader context of what the society intends to accomplish through tits educational investment in the young. How one can conceives of education, we have finally come to recognize, is a function of how one conceive of culture and it aim, professed and otherwise. The roles of structure in learning and how it may be made central in teaching. The approach taken should be a practical one. The teaching and learning of structure rather than simply the mastery of fact and techniques, is at the centre of the classic problem of transfer. If earlier, it must do so by providing a general picture in term of which the relations between things encountered earlier and later are made clear as possible.
Processing perform a series of mechanical or chemical operations on (something) in order to change or preserve it. School fees processing is the process of payment of school fees and changing it into receipt is called the processing of school fees. Fee collection and management is one of the critical processes of a school.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The process of school fees processing system of Christ the king college (CKC) is being done manually by the school management, whereby the manual process is complex and time consuming which makes the student not to write exams on time because of the slow rate of processing the school fees from the bursary department manually. This manual process sometimes lead to the misplacement of the school fees tellers because of lack of adequate storage medium, there may be fire outbreak which may burn the files, Robbers may attack the school and got the files stolen due to insecurity of the file.
1.3 Aim and Objective of the Study
The objective of this project include:
1.4 Significance of the Study
This project work will help in a good number of ways to ease the queuing system in Christ the king college (CKC) as the online clearance and school fees payment system will help the students to achieve whatever they want to achieve without coming to the various offices for clearance and fees.
The online school fees system will allow the students to check their school fees status if they are in any way indebted to the school, fill and submit their school fees form, and obtain their clearance form for that year.
1.5 Scope of the Study
This research is narrowed down to the secondary school fees processing so as to obtain the information and well presented in more meaningful manner. The scope will therefore cover the handling of financial account of the school. This automated system will take care of the payment control concept in the school’s management information system
1.6 Limitations of the Study
In the course of this project research there were a lot of constraints. These however, in a way limited the research but not entirely stop it. The first is the lackadaisical attitude of the school authority to give accurate information even when they knew that the research was for an academic exercise. There was also lots of problems encountered during the interview section of the students because many of them could not speak at that moment due to the anger and stress the manual system of the school has caused them.
