INTEGRATED SYSTEM FOR EFFICIENT PAYMENT OF EDUCATION TUITION FEES IN ZIMBABWE

The student tuition fee account system currently implemented in most universities and institutions of higher learning including HIT is not linked directly to the banking system, leading to delayed reconciliation of payments. Under the current system, every student has to physically go to the university after making a tuition payment in order for it to be processed. However, because the period taken by the learning institutions to process student payments can be time consuming – given staffing constraints in Finance departments and also can cause enrolment delays and such payments are not immediately reflected in the Student account.

The proposed integrated bank and student tuition fee account system allows for real time synchronization of tuition fee payments at the bank with the student tuition fee account system. This is done by using XML language which enables the transference of data from one system to another. The successful development of the integrated system will lead to an up-to-date and efficient student tuition fee account in learning institutions. This will also ensure efficiency in reconciliation of payments by the institutions; enhance accountability and transparency.
