Transforming school system with high technology-enabled automation tools to support the academic and administrative processes will make it easy to achieve their goals.

To succeed in everyday tasks of schools, there is an emerging demand to modernize public education system with cloud, mobile and digital technologies to improve operational efficiency and manage the institution effectively.

Here are some commonly observed school management issues, and how technological solutions can be employed to do things right:

1. Lending a hand to teachers to use social networking sites
When it comes to schools there is always plenty of discussion on how students are either using or misusing social networking sites such as Facebook. However, these social networking sites can be highly useful for the teachers and they can help improve school performance as well. From these websites, teachers can get proper ideas about how they would be able to teach different subjects and books in the class that they otherwise find difficult to deal with.

2. Communication & Collaboration
There is apparently no platform to provide seamless communication between students, administrators, staff and teachers. Moreover, increasing student discipline incidents happen as a result of big communication gap between students and teachers. Web and mobile-based education management system improves communication through instant notifications and alerts via email, SMS and push messages to keep the constituents informed at every step of the journey to build relationship and improve student retention.

3. Forecasting the academic achievement
Institutions are unable to manage information and there are endless delays in taking decisions based on complete analysis. Dashboard reports and intelligent analytics are useful indicators for educators to examine attendance, assignments, grades, etc. and predict student outcomes. Using data analytics will help institutions to identify students at-risk and deploy resources to improve achievement and success.

4. Collaborating on priority
As far as theory goes most schools want their teachers to join forces with each other in order to create lessons, share various resources and ideas, and address the individual learning needs of the students. However, the truth of the matter is that in most cases they do not really have the time to do so. In most cases, the maximum break that teachers have between classes is 20 minutes and at times it can come down to 5 minutes as well. It is little time to have any meaningful discussion with your colleagues as such. This is where your administrators need to think and think hard.

5. Model the behaviors you want to see in your school
You have a list of qualities and values that you want to see in your teachers and students. But how well do you present those same aspects of your school culture? All changes have to start from the top. That means when you interact with teachers and students, you need to be an example of the behavior that you want to see in your school.

Apart from this, you can also take some other steps like reducing the fixed costs, sharing work, turning energy savings into new equipment, and taking a fresh look at staffing related requirements.
