About PAAET

About PAEET

Challenges

Challenges

PAAET faced significant challenges in its educational infrastructure and student services, particularly in their registration process student support and engagement.

PAAET faced significant challenges in its educational infrastructure and student services, particularly in their registration process student support and engagement.

Inefficient Registration Process

Students often struggled with an unintuitive online registration system, where a lack of clear step-by-step instructional content resulted in students missing key deadlines or registering for incorrect courses. The confusion created frustration among students and led to a dependency on in-person staff for support on the processes and steps

Strain on Staff Resources

Peak registration periods would see an influx of students visiting the registration office for support and guidance. This placed strain on insufficient staff resources who were only available only during office hours; leading to queues, overcrowding, further delays and leaving many students without timely assistance
