AP education dept introduces App to record govt school students attendance

The attendance of students will be marked by 9:30 am and if the students are late or do not come to school, an automated message will be sent to the parents. The attendance is registered online through the student attendance app in government schools.

Andhra Pradesh's School Education Department has introduced an integrated attendance mobile application to record the attendance of students in all government schools. The attendance of students will be marked by 9:30 am and if the students are late or do not come to school, an automated message will be sent to the parents. The attendance is registered online through the student attendance app in government schools.

App to increase attendance in government schools

The student attendance app brought by the government is helping to increase the attendance of students in government schools and prevent irregularities in the mid-day meal and other education schemes. If the school starts at 9 am, the students of classes 1 to 10 will attend the respective classes from 9.15 am to 9.30 am. As soon as the school teacher goes to his class, he logs into the student attendance app on his cell phone and registers the students' attendance.

However, in the evening the attendance is entered manually in the attendance register. If the student's attendance is not registered in the app in the morning, a message will immediately go to the parent's cell phone. This will enable parents to know if their child has gone to school or they can inform the teachers about the reasons why their children do not come to school.

Move to strengthen public education sector

Chief Minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy has brought revolutionary changes to strengthen the public education sector in the state. Along with implementing schemes like Amma Vodi, Jagananna Gorumudda, Vidyakanuka, Vidya Deevena, and Vasathi Deevena,  English medium education in schools is being imparted to students.  As part of Mana Badi Nadu-Nedu, schools are being modified and modernized. Facilities such as classrooms, furniture, drinking water, toilets, and playgrounds are being provided on par with the corporate schools. Similarly, technology is being used not just for digital classrooms, but also to ensure attendance is marked through this application not only for students but also teachers.
