Student Population. One of the major challenges faced by the PDSA office is
the large student population of over 4500 students in the Senior High School main
campus. This poses a significant challenge in terms of monitoring the students and
handling concerns or problems due to the population of the students. The large
student population can make it challenging to ensure that all students follow the
curfew and arrive on time for their appointments. Therefore, the PDSA office
needs to find ways to effectively manage the large student population, such as
implementing this system, the organization can improve the overall effectiveness
of scheduling and ensure that all appointments are attended on time, leading to
system aims to address this issue, there is still a need for a reminder system to ensure
that students attend their appointments on time. Therefore, the PDSA office needs to
implement a reminder system that can notify students of their upcoming appointments
through various channels such as email, text message, or mobile app notifications. By
doing so, the PDSA office can improve the overall effectiveness of scheduling,
These challenges can hinder the effectiveness of the appointment system and
the overall operations of the PDSA office. Therefore, there is a need to improve the
