“Formerly, it was done manually, and there are processes that are followed in doing that manually, but when I came, I felt it is necessary to align ourselves and some of our operations with the in-thing, which is technology, and we felt there is need for us to have a software that will enable us to determine precisely real values for subjects after our exams,” said Wushishi in an official press statement to mark his one year in office.
“We had a workshop for that, and we were able to now deploy standard software to determine grade and marking,” added Wushishi even as he assured that the software would ensure precise grade value for every subject.
