A School Management System tracks learner attendance through various methods. This can include:
- Manual Sign-in/Sign-out: Learners (or staff) manually record their arrival and departure, often using a digital interface.
- Biometric Scanning: Fingerprint or facial recognition is used to automatically record attendance.
- RFID Cards: Learners use RFID cards to clock in and out.
- Mobile App Integration: Learners can use a mobile app to record their attendance.
The data recorded typically includes:
- Date and Time of Arrival
- Date and Time of Departure
- Absence Codes: Reasons for absence (e.g., illness, appointment).
- Late Arrival Codes: Indication of lateness.
This attendance data can be used to generate reports, such as:
- Attendance Summaries: Overall attendance rates for individual learners or groups of learners.
- Absence Patterns: Identification of learners with frequent absences.
- Trend Analysis: Tracking attendance trends over time to identify potential problems.
- Reporting to Parents/Guardians: Automated notifications to parents/guardians regarding absences.
