Today, E-learning has become a popular trend that makes education easy and comfortable. Several schools, colleges, and institutions have started using education ERP software to manage and streamline the complete administrative information in an organized and efficient manner. The education ERP system collects the entire data about the institution on a single click and facilitates better communication.
According to a recent report, the education ERP market is expected to grow nearly 3X times larger by revenues.
The increasing complexities in traditional management technologies have generated potential opportunities for the rising demands of innovative and smart education platforms. To bridge the communication gap between schools and parents, there is a need for technology. Hence, educational institutions adopt smart strategies such as online parent portal applications that help parents to communicate with the teachers regularly as well as stay informed about the progress of their children.
Benefits of Parent Portal
A parent portal application creates a one-stop interaction with multiple features. The mobile application helps parents to check the academic performance and other activities of their child. This student information management software is used to give proper awareness to parents that drastically improve the studies of their child.
Here are some of the benefits of using the parent portal application:
1. Quick access to information
The online parent portal application provides quick and easy access to information about students, admissions, homework, fees, exams, and more. This helps parents to understand their child’s performance better.
2. Online Fee Collection
Manual tasks have been made hassle-free and less tiring. Going to schools physically to make payments are not possible for today’s working parents. Hence, parent portal applications are used to pay fees from their internet-connected devices.
3. Ease of communication
Communication between parents and teachers plays a significant role in student’s development in terms of academics. The online parent portal enables easy interaction with the parents and provides periodic reports on student progress.
4. Secured access
It provides real-time secured access to student’s data and daily activities. As a wide variety of sensitive information is updated in the application, it is built with safe servers with backup systems and role-based access controls.
These apps help food and beverage industries in attracting numerous customers in the recent couple of years.
5. Periodic reports
The online parent portal application generates daily reports on attendance, financial details, homework, assessments, and exam results.
6. Transparency and control
The school maintains the control of the viewable information through the parent portal. Flexible settings options are available for individual parents or guardians to see specific information.
