 How RPA is transforming education institutions. Process student enrollment. This is a time-intensive task that every educational establishment has to carry out. It involves a lot of paper-related tasks that are painful and error-prone. There is a need to read the student's application form, validate the documents supplied, and verify student's eligibility for the course he or she has applied to. Without a doubt, this is tiresome if done manually. The focus right now is to digitize and streamline these monotonous and boring approaches. Therefore, RPA is a significant approach to achieve this goal. Organize meet-up schedules. Every education establishment cannot avoid preparing and planning for board meetings, parent-teacher meetings, faculty meetings, and emergency meetings. There is a need for the organizers of such conferences to check up the schedule of the attendees. Based on their availability, they can compose customized emails to each attendee, communicating the date, time, as well as the location of that meeting. In case there is a change or postponement in schedule or meeting, the organizers would have to repeat the whole process. Track attendance. This is a repetitive but important task every educational establishment has to perform every day. Per adventure you think student attendance is the only thing that the establishment cares about, then you are mistaken. Maintaining an accurate record of time reviews of teachers and educational administration is necessary to provide fair compensation. Prepare progress reports. In addition to assessing the examination papers of students, teachers are also required to prepare the progress report of each student. RPA can assist with several tedious tasks. Once teachers have stored the student scores in an electronic format, the robotic process automation tool can source the information from the database, input the data in the progress report card, and communicate it to parents. The advantages of RPA in the education sector. 1. Reduce expenses. The RPA tool can assume repetitive roles, perform high volume jobs, and implement the job at a lower rate and a faster pace. One thing that goes unnoticed due to the high initial investment, is that RPA can be a great tool for long term savings. In the short term, you might be paying a hefty fee, but they eventually start paying off in the long term. 2. Improve productivity. Employees assigned with monotonous activities can now secure more leisure and relaxation time as RPA will implement most of those annoying and mundane tasks. Consequently, the teachers can channel their energy on more rewarding and productive activities. It will also assist the educational establishment to efficiently manage massive volumes of tasks and complete it within the time frame. 3. Enhance work execution. This is one of the most exciting features of RPA. It can perform at a specific and prefixed job 24-7 without committing any mistakes or taking any break like humans. The output will also be free of error and require no revision. 4. Less errors. Using automation tools helps tremendously in reducing unwanted errors. In any industry, specifically in the educational field, there is no room for errors. So this is a nice added benefit alongside the time savings. 5. Increased compliance. Robotic process automation is a great tool for having better compliance. It helps remove inconsistency among the disparate sources. Automation tools are governed by strict, predetermined rules, there is no room for ambiguity. RPA is redefining the business process in all sectors and industries, and you can see its potential in education too. Though the adoption rate is lower compared to other industries, probably as a result of a lack of expertise and knowledge of how the technology works. The impact of RPA in the education industry is nevertheless, inconsequential.
