The Challenge
Teachers at a 600-student primary school reported spending more time on paperwork than lesson planning. Burnout was rising. Quality was suffering.
The Intervention
The school implemented a student information system with focus on automating administrative tasks:
- Digital attendance replacing paper registers
- Automated report card generation
- Online grade entry
- Bulk parent communications
The Measured Impact
Before:
- 12 hours weekly per teacher on administrative tasks
- Report cards took 2 weeks to produce
- Parent communication was sporadic and manual
After:
- 5 hours weekly per teacher on admin (58% reduction)
- Report cards generated in 2 days
- Automated weekly updates to all parents
Teacher Feedback
"I became a teacher to teach, not to file papers. This system gave me back my profession."
Technology should serve educators, not burden them. When it works, everyone benefits.
