Abstract
Over the years, record keeping was done manually, keeping paper-based documents of all students’ academic information. This system however has proven inefficient because it could not cater for unforeseen circumstances like fire accident, house demolishing or even the most obvious one - the student’s record going missing. Researchers have come up with more effective ways of solving the paper problem, which led to several web-based student information management systems. However, these researchers did not fully eradicate the paper problem because the process still required an initial printing, then scanning of academic records which served as inputs into the system. Also, there was an increase in the occurrence of service unavailability because all storage and processes came from the same location, making the server vulnerable to unforeseen circumstances like power outage, loss of network connection and system malfunction. This research work however aims at implementing an E-transcript management system using blockchain technology, which is capable of eliminating the paper problem whilst ensuring that users experienced service uptime round the clock.
