School Management System
ENSIA 2023-2024
Objectives:
• Implement a system to manage students, teachers, exams, courses, etc.
• Design a graphical interface using C++ and possibly a library like Qt1 for
the user interaction.
• Apply principles of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and use UML
for design documentation.
Features:
1. Student Management:
• Add, edit, and delete student profiles.
• View and update student details (name, ID, courses enrolled, etc.).
• Manage attendance records.

• Track academic performance.
• Etc.
2. Teacher Management:
• Add, edit, and delete teacher profiles.
• View and update teacher details (name, ID, courses taught, etc.).
• Manage teaching schedules.
• Track professional development.
• Etc.
3. Course Management:
• Add, edit, and delete courses.
• Assign courses to teachers and students.
• Manage course schedules and resources.
• Track course attendance and performance.
• Etc.
4. Exam Management:
• Schedule exams and assign them to specific courses.
• Record and display exam results for each student.
• Analyze exam performance statistics.
• Etc.
5. Graphical Interface:
• Create a user-friendly interface to interact with the system.
• Use graphical elements for data entry, display, and navigation.
• Implement functionalities through buttons, forms, and dialogs.
6. UML Design:
• Create a UML Class Diagram to represent the class structure of the
system.
• Use UML Sequence Diagrams to illustrate the flow of interactions be-
tween objects for key scenarios (e.g., enrolling in a course, conducting
an exam, etc.).
7. File Handling:
• Implement file handling to save and load data (e.g., student records,
teacher details, course information, etc.).
• Ensure data persistence across multiple program runs.

8. Error Handling:
• Implement robust error handling to gracefully handle unexpected
situations.
• Display meaningful error messages to the user.
Structure of the system:
• Main Program File: The main file that initializes the system and man-
ages user interactions.
• Class Files: Separate files for classes like Student, Teacher, Course,
Exam, etc., following OOP principles.
• Graphical Interface Files: Files handling the graphical interface using
C++ (Qt, for example).
• UML Documentation: A folder containing UML diagrams (Class Dia-
gram and Sequence Diagrams).
Criteria:
1. Functionality: The system should effectively manage students, teachers,
courses, exams, etc.
2. OOP Principles: Proper use of classes, encapsulation, inheritance, poly-
morphism, etc.
3. Graphical Interface: User-friendly design, responsiveness, and effective
use of graphical elements.
4. UML Documentation: Clear and accurate representation of the sys-
tem’s structure and interactions.
5. Code Quality: Well-organized, commented, and adherence to coding
standards.
6. Error Handling: Graceful handling of errors and user-friendly error
messages.
Conclusion:
This project provides a comprehensive school management system that goes
beyond basic functionalities. It incorporates advanced features for student and
teacher management, course handling, and exam management. The inclusion of
a graphical interface and UML documentation enhances the project’s usability
and maintainability. Students can further extend and refine the system to meet
specific institutional needs.
