What steps have Meghalaya’s teachers taken to curb proxy attendance among students

Learn about the digital technology that has been implemented to prevent proxy attendance among students in Meghalaya.
To curb proxy attendance among students, Meghalaya's teachers have implemented digital technology. Below are the steps they've taken:
  • Installation of biometric attendance systems in all government schools and colleges starting in 2019
  • Teachers are directed to strictly use biometric attendance systems to mark attendance and avoid taking attendance manually
  • Students must register their fingerprints in the biometric system
  • The system is linked to the student's account to track their attendance throughout their academic journey.
  • A mobile application has been designed for teachers to monitor attendance, and parents can also use it to monitor their child's attendance. Real-time attendance updates are available, and absent students are quickly identified.
  • A Notice will be sent to parents through SMS alerts for absenteeism of their wards ensuring their active participation
These technological initiatives have increased transparency, accountability, and accuracy in recording attendance, resulting in better student and teacher performance.
