Ever wondered how schools allocate hundreds of students to classes based on grades, preferences, and limited vacancies? Or how education policy makers review the impact of testing changes on school admissions?
In this special episode, we take a detour from the regular course to tackle a real operational challenge faced by schools across Singapore every year.
The Problem:
Teachers and education officers spend countless hours manually sorting students into classes using complex Excel spreadsheets—matching student preferences with grades, checking eligibility criteria, and managing limited class vacancies. It's time-consuming, error-prone, and exhausting.
The Solution:
Watch as we build an automated student allocation app using:
-Notion – to document the sorting algorithm as user stories
-Lovable – to build the visual allocation tool
What You'll See:
✅ Automated allocation of students based on complex policy rules
✅ Real-time visualization of the sorting process (163 automated steps!)
✅ Explainability & transparency – see exactly why each student was placed or rejected
✅ Appeal ticket generation for edge cases
✅ CSV export for integration with school systems
🔔 Subscribe for more no-code solutions to real-world problems
💬 Share your allocation challenges in the comments!
I built this for our public service community. If you find it useful, share it across the public service, please. And when you build something, tag me on LinkedIn (https://linkedin/in/yongkiat), and I'd love to see what you create!
Let's grow together. See you in the videos!
