Abstract

Technology generally has developed in recent times. Education technology has also seen significant level of advancement as students and researchers seek more useful ways of combating various challenges bedeviling the educational sector. Most institutions especially developing countries have result processing software which are largely web based. In the area of certificate verification, most tertiary institutions have no automated way of verifying issued certificates, giving rise to a soaring figure in the use fake certificates in the country. In this work, we designed a system that attempts to address the issues of result checking and certificate verification with the use of USSD. Having explored the various systems in place and challenges faced by users, a hybrid model was designed and developed to solve the problem of result checking and certificate verification by making it fast, secured and easily accessible even with the most basic phone.
