The RFID technology has been received a growing attention and has gotten a wide range of applications. Administration systems
for automatically managing routine have-to-do works of school staff and students with the aid of computers are one of them. This
study focuses on implementing an automation/management system which eases the supervision of students and reduces the
burden on school administration staff. In this study a sample school administration system using RFID tags/readers is developed.
This system is capable of automatic person identification, class/laboratory/library attendance management, static/dynamic
authorization, submission of warnings/announcements, e-money usage, logging and reporting. Due to provide robustness and
long lasting run a more server independent structure is designed.
In education not only the content but also the administration is important. When taking decisions, instructors and
school administration staff must have accurate and fast data about current state of the school and students. If there is
no an automation system, the data is not stored on computers therefore access to necessary information is either
difficult or time consuming. To obtain the information fast and accurate an automation system is required.
Nowadays a lot of technologies exist to accomplish that. Radio frequency identification (RFID) assisted systems are
one of them and in this study RFID is used.
RFID is a term that is used to describe a system that transmits the identity of an object or person in the form of a
unique serial number, using radio waves. As shown in Figure 1, a basic RFID system contains three main
components which are an antenna, RFID reader and RFID tag. Usually RFID reader is connected to a host computer
that runs an application to process the data passed by it.
