Abstract

The research was carried out at Mbarara Army Senior Secondary School, Mbarara district- Uganda. The study was
mainly carried out in the department of academics. The academic department uses a manual filing system for the
storage of students’ results. The design of this study consisted of six respondents who were selected at random at
Mbarara Army Senior Secondary School, which gave the researcher relevant information about the system at the
school. Various methods of research finding methods were used to collect the data from the field questionnaire,
interview and observation. Both secondary and primary data were collected using the methods identified above. The
researcher faced problems like the delay of the respondents to return questionnaires in time because of the failure of
the respondents about the new system and some respondents hid vital information because of the fear of losing their
job. Problems faced by the current system in recording students’ results; students’ results can be lost at any time.
The students’ results management system will help MASSS to capture, process, store and disseminate students’
results easily. SGMS was designed in Microsoft visual basic (6.0) and its related technologies of the database as the
designing tools. It makes it easy to access information as faster as possible and this involves real-time reports. It
also shows how the whole system can be made secure to avoid authorized access to its various resources. Role
authentication is put into use so as to accomplish the goal of the whole project which is to provide students results
management system that facilitates an effective, user-friendly and efficient students result management system
(SRMS) at Mbarara Army Senior Secondary School.
