A YOUNG NIGERIAN COMPUTER WIZARD INTRODUCES A REMARKABLE SOLUTION FOR SCHOOLS; A CLOUD BASED STUDENT RESULT MANAGEMENT APPLICATION

The founder of Think First Technologies Limited, a Nigerian software development company that recently won the United Nations Award (World Summit Youth Award), Mr. Akinyele Olubodun has developed another unique and dynamic application for schools in Nigeria and the whole of Africa.

According to Olubodun, ‘Remarks is an on-line result management solution for all Secondary & Primary Schools in Nigeria and the whole of Africa. Its approach is totally different from other existing on-line result management solution because it allows a school to practically use the application without any body’s assistance. It is easy for a school to set up, just as you can easily open your school’s email address and start sending mail from the very first day of registration. This is why we emphasize that you can always DO IT YOURSELF! All you need to do to get started is just a click on www.remarks-ng.com’

Also in his words, ‘majority of the schools in Africa and surprisingly in Europe, America, Asia, Australia, etc. are still using the manual approach towards marking, recording, calculating, sorting, storing, displaying and presenting students’ academic results’. Remarks is designed to eliminate all the stress that most teachers encounter while using the manual approach. Mr. Olubodun said ‘teachers are meant to teach, so they should not be asked to carry the burden of processing students’ result.’ He claims that all the rigorous processes in the manual approach will be eliminated at just a click.

With the help of Remarks, parents/guardians can check their wards’ academic performance any time, anywhere and on any smart phone or other smart devices with internet access. There is also an option to view the result via SMS alert. For comprehensive analysis of students’ academic performance, you can always bank on Remarks. It provides graphical and other statistical representation of each ward’s performance in class, subject, etc. in comparison with other students in the school. So, parents can monitor the progress of their children any time.

Speaking on the importance of the solution to national development, the young Akinyele said he is happy to make Nigeria proud. He said ‘the fact is that most people in the Western world did not believe Nigerians are innovative. But now, Nigerians are proving them wrong in the entertainment industry and now in ICT. We are getting there; it is just a matter of time’
Mr. Akinyele Olubodun however urges school administrators, investors and government agencies to join his winning team and embrace the new technology by visiting www.remarks-ng.com and register on the platform. You can reach him via info@remarks-ng.com. or info@thinkfirsttechnologies.com.

BRAVO!!! This will be a welcomed development if the government introduce this in their education system because this will solve many problems (false amount of fees,forging of results by students e.t.c.) that is destroying the image of the government pri./sec. schools in the rural area.

Good job! This innovation deserves an award. Really, I had been thinking of how our Nigerian schools can digitalize their report sheets. I remember when I was in high school, those days when some crazy lads would change the red ink on their report card to blue in order to avoid being beaten or punished by parents waiting at home. @planner212 I think one of the advantages of the stuff is that it allows a robust database of student's academic data. If a school is engulfed in fire, no wahala...information is intact. Nice one!

Big Bravo!
