| dc.description.abstract | The general features of an e-registration system adopted by schools as ordered by KNEC
generates a unique form number for individual candidates, validates various student details,
registers in batches into schools, generates examination numbers for candidates, selects
compulsory subjects by default for all candidates, among other things. Currently, little research
has been done on how E registration has benefited the schools. That was what inspired this study.
This study had three objectives namely to: determine the benefits of the implementation of eregistration
in secondary schools, determine the challenges encountered in the implementation of
e-registration by secondary schools and to establish the relationship between the level of
adoption of e-registration and the benefits of e-registration Implementation. The study adopted a
descriptive study approach to investigate these objectives. The study found that all the schools
had adopted E registration of candidates for KCSE examination as prescribed by KNEC. The
study however found that the schools were faced with challenges in the adoption of the E
registration system. These challenges were technological challenges, communication challenges
and infrastructure challenges. The study found that the schools adopting the E registration
benefited in terms of Ease of correction of mistakes, Ease of retrieval of records, Convenient
storage of records, Accessibility of records, Accuracy of records, Ease of confirmation of
records, Avoiding malicious alteration of records, Avoiding unauthorised access to records,
Reducing paper work, Portability/ mobility of records, Backup System for records, Avoiding loss
of records and Time management. The schools observed these benefits to a great extent through
the implementation E registration. | en |
