Scenario:
A school needed an enrolment database to collect information about students that were coming into the school. The Department of Education would often contact the school and ask the office assistant questions such as “Are there any places left in the selective classes?” and “How many girls were in the Gifted and Talented class?” The office assistant needed to keep accurate data and have access to this data immediately. The information was constantly being updated and reports needed to be viewed instantly showing any changes.
She also needed to know how many overseas students the school had enrolled and the type of VISA they held. As well once they were in the school she thought it would be useful to know how many students caught buses and what bus route they were supposed to be on.
Your will be guided through a solution to this problem.
