    Managing Pupils’ Electronic Records in Primary Schools in Lusaka District: Benefits, Challenges, and Strategic Recommendations
    (ASET Journal of Management Science, 2025) Jesu Arockia, Venice
    This study explores the management of pupils’ electronic records in primary schools within Lusaka District, Zambia. With growing reliance on digital systems, schools have begun adopting SQL databases, cloud platforms, and educational software such as Glad Tiding to handle student data. The research employed a qualitative descriptive case study design, with data collected from 38 participants using semi-structured interviews. Findings reveal improved efficiency, data accuracy, access, and stakeholder communication. However, challenges persist, including limited training, data security concerns, resistance to change, and inadequate infrastructure. Recommendations include capacity-building for educators, investment in secure and scalable technologies, and stakeholder sensitization. This paper calls for policy alignment to support digital transformation in Zambian school administration systems.
