SCHOOL management has become a challenge in today’s new normal, given the absence of face-to-face interaction.
Efficiently adapting and adjusting to the challenges of virtual education, Notre Dame of Kidapawan College (NDKC) partnered with Globe Telecom for its School Management System (SMS).
NDKC secured licenses for Campus Link—an SMS that manages day-to-day activities in school and establishes a communication platform for school stakeholders: staff, teachers, students, and parents. Campus Link equips educational institutions with an efficient system that digitizes school activities, promotes a safe and secure platform for collaboration, automates processes and stores records digitally in a centralized system.
“NDKC’s partnership with Globe Telecom’s education solution on Campus Link SMS is our response to the challenges brought by the new normal in the education sector,” shared Br. Arnel S. Alfanta, FMS, NDKC’s president. “With the ongoing restrictions due to the pandemic, the need for relevant technological adaptation has led us to rethink the way we do things—specifically in the areas of admission and enrollment procedures, student-record keeping, communication, and institutional data management.”
He confirmed: “With the efficient and easy-to-use SMS, we not only bridge the gap between stakeholders, but also reduce our operational costs.”
Located in the province of Cotabato, NDKC is a Catholic institution led by the Marist Brothers, or Fratres Maristae a Scholis—a Catholic religious order from France. The school offers elementary, high school, senior high school, college and post-graduate courses in consortium with Notre Dame of Dadiangas University and independent programs. NDKC is a member of the Notre Dame Educational Association and the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines.
