REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

LOCAL LITERATURE

School Enrollment is one of the most important process in

Education, here are some related literatures and articles about it:

Importance of Enrollment

School’s Population

The school’s population grows every year; therefore, the manual

enrollment and student record-keeping system takes up too much time for
the teachers or enrolling officer. Additionally, manual updating of the
student’s records slow down the admission process because the enrolling
officers takes time to search and locate the records of the student in
the filling cabinet. Tallying of subjects also takes time because of
non-organize student’s files (Raymund Zuela,2020).

According to Binayao (2013), in her article on Philippine E-Journal

entitled Web Based Enrollment System with Reservation of Dysas Center
for CPA Review, she stated that “Over the years the population of
enrollees exceeds constantly from the anticipated annual growth. During
enrollment, vulnerability to errors in book keeping is defined which
would consume much time delaying the enrolment process.”

Time Managing

Furthermore, the enrollment process of an educational institution

becomes very complex when the waiting time is prolonged and crowds of
people are created. It says that technological tools are the most
effective way to deal with this problem. This seeks optimizing the
processes that make up the enrollment management of an educational
institution through the implementation of a digital enrollment system.
Basically, developing of the system includes four phases which is
designing, planning, coding, and testing. In this sense, the digital
enrollment process was optimized, such as student enrollment,
registration and reports, allowing the reduction of crowds, time and
human effort. It allowed collaborative work at a distance between the
institution and the students, being a technological and innovative aid
that reduces the time of the enrollment processes, in an equitable and
transparent way, guaranteeing freedom of choice and equal access
opportunities to remote education. (Chamilco, Pacheco, et.al, 2021).

Based also on another study, Liceo de Cagayan University's Online

Enrollment System, "The Online Enrollment System was proposed for the
enhancement of the current enrollment system of Liceo de Cagayan
University. The study aimed at creating a system that would provide
another option for enrolling and that would compensate for the school's
lack of manpower and time-consuming system. The database of the system
is the dbEnrollment, which contains many tables and stores information
such as students' academic records, a secretary's files and records,
class schedules, pre-requisites, subjects, curricular, and other
essential data needed in the system. The proposed system provides
services for old, freshmen, transferees, and shiftees and caters to
their needs. (Leonar,2021)

Record Keeping

In the Article, Web-Based Enrollment System with Reservation of

Dysas Center for CPA Review by Alegre, Desales, and Torres (2013) “Over
the years the population of enrollees exceeds constantly the anticipated
annual growth. During enrollment, vulnerability to errors in bookkeeping
is defined which would consume much time delaying the enrolment process.
The proponents planned to give a response to the defined problems in the
DySAS Center for CPA Review’s business process. The proposed Web-based
Enrollment System with Reservation can help avoid errors in record-
keeping by putting into operation an electronic form upon providing
personal data in registration. The system can cater to more enrollees
simultaneously compared to the current process of the registration
period.

Improved Current Enrollment Process

According to the article "Optimizing the Benefits of Online K–12

Enrollment and Registration "by Henrrickson (2017), "Web-based
enrollment makes the process quantifiably easier and faster for staff
and parents." This also applies especially to the students. A part of
the article also discussed that "for schools and districts, the cost of
paper-based enrollment and registration processes takes up a substantial
part of the operational budget. By transitioning to online enrollment
management systems, schools can devote more resources to educating
students rather than filling out paperwork, manually entering data, and
trying to track down information that's filed away on paper."

How do Technology Affects Enrollment System?

Based on Bauman, Cranney (2020), it says that technology is

replacing human workers with mechanical or electronic devices.
Enrollment is the process of entering and verifying the data of students
to register at a particular school; it is one of the most important
pieces of evidence for schools. Most importantly in this is to have an
accurate and efficient enrollment records to ensure a good impression
of the school on possible enrollees. Enrollment procedures provide a
means for the faculty to write down data that are essential to
enrollment and was proposed to replace the manual process of enrollment
to have an organized flow of transactions and make work easier.

For Example,the Mapua University is one of the top engineering

schools in the Philippines and they're technology-oriented people.
However, deciding how to develop alternative online delivery mechanisms
at an institutional level is not an easy task. The best approach is for
each institution to address a few key criteria in the context of
previous development. One major problem that the students continually
address is the enrollment system of the university. Before any admitted
student decides to enroll, they should carefully evaluate if they will
be able to commit the time, money, and resources an academic program
requires. That includes admission processes (Hudnett, 2019).
 The underlying ripple effects of stifling competition for education
institutes is the growing necessity for schools to enhance their
mechanisms for better serving student applicant’s queries and objections
(Jenny J, 2019). This will eventually help admissions of the school to
ultimately enroll more students. Hence, the importance of an enrollment
system in school should have the ease of convenience and efficiency.
Students are not only looking for personalized attention at each step
but also looking to get it quick. Which is why the inter-connectivity of
computers and the web can now be integrated.

Distance Education

In addition, based on Digital Compass Learning: Distance Education

Enrollment Report, the study takes a detailed look at the trends and
patterns of distance education enrollments among U.S degree-granting
higher education institutions. Year-to-year changes in distance
enrollments have been very uneven, with continued steady growth for the
public sector, greater levels of growth (albeit on a much smaller base)
for the private non-profit sector, and continuation of the decline in
total enrollments for the private for-profit sector for the third year
in a row. The large-scale trends show the growing importance of the
private non-profits as a key player in providing distance education. The
picture of change in distance enrollments is composed of a relatively
few institutions having large gains or large losses, with most
institutions showing modest changes in either direction. (Seaman &
Allen, 2017).
