Answer:
Manual procedure in school that needs to be computerized is the ID system. It's much convenient for the students as well as to the school to have control by using computerized ID system. Each student have their respective student numbers. Through computer system, students may just swipe their IDs in a computer machine as they enter the school. It will help the school to monitor students and at the same time to control those unregistered people who tries to enter the school. Another thing that I want to be computerized in school is the security system. By entering the gate, student will pass in this detector machine to know if students or any people who enters at school brings any deadly weapon. This will help the safety of the school.
