Project Features
The entire Youth Arch web portal is divided into two main modules viz. HKOSA and YASIA. Student users have access to HKOSA whereas Marker and School users have access to both HKOSA and YASIA modules. There is also an Admin module to govern all the other modules and features in the system.
HKOSA - HongKong Outstanding Student Awards
This is the module used for capturing student’s details for the Hong Kong Outstanding Student Award. The actors for this module are the Student, School and Marker. The process for HKOSA is as mentioned below: Students either access the portal themselves or are nominated by their schools. In the former case, the student proactively fills the academic and other details as shown in the portal as a form. In the latter case, the school, through their login, will be assigning a Teacher In Charge for HKOSA who will then invite the student to fill the form using their IDs in the system. Students fill in their academic results and conduct across all the subjects, community services they have been a part of, extracurricular activities they have undertaken, academic and non academic awards in the form. These information are prompted by the portal as different sections. Students will be entering a short self description which will act as an introductory pitch for them.
There will be a referee nominated by the student who will receive a link to the form filled by the student. They won’t have their own logins, but can view all the information entered by the student using the link and can further submit the form. The referee acts as a recommender for the student as a candidate for HKOSA. The School’s Teacher In Charge will be verifying it and will be sending it over to the Marker. The Marker, using their login ID, would be able to see all the information entered by the student and the referee. They can also remove certain certifications/information entered by the student if they’re not fit for consideration. The system, post this, will show a score for the student and according to the rules set by the management, the student will be awarded scholarship and prizes under HKOSA.
YASIA - Youth Arch Students' Improvement Awards
YASIA is an award which is given out to the students who have made the most impressive leap as a student in terms of achievements. These are those students who act as a beacon of inspiration to all the other students.
Unlike HKOSA, the applications for YASIA are filled by the Teacher In Charge and not the student.
The school’s TIC (Teacher In Charge) fills the academic details of students whom they select off the platform from their school. These details will be across academic, extra curricular, conduct and other parameters. These students are the ones who have had the best improvement in their performance. After the TIC fills the form, the admin will be assigning a marker for that application. The marker will be reviewing the application details entered by the TIC, checking for its validity and authenticity and then the system would showcase the awards and scholarships that the said student is eligible for.
