Student attendance
Mark a class quickly and the record is stored against the student, not a sheet of paper. Because it is captured as data, a term's attendance for one student is a question you ask rather than a count you do.
Attendance & leave
Attendance software for schools in Nepal
Mark student attendance daily, track staff attendance alongside it, and run both through one leave flow. Approving a staff leave marks the attendance for you, so the register and the leave book cannot tell different stories.
The problem
The attendance register's weak points
A paper register works perfectly right up until someone needs to answer a question about it later.
A parent asks how many days their child has missed this term, and answering means counting by hand.
The leave book says a teacher was approved for Thursday. The attendance register says absent. Both are signed.
Attendance is marked days late from memory, which makes it a story rather than a record.
Nobody notices a pattern of absence until it is far too late to do anything useful about it.
The register lives in one room, so the information in it is only available to whoever is standing there.
What you get
How attendance works in NepEdu
Two records, one flow, and no way for them to quietly disagree.
Staff attendance
Staff attendance is tracked in the same system as students', so the school has one place to look rather than a register in the office and a book in the staff room.
One leave flow for everyone
Students and staff both apply through a single leave request, and each request belongs to one or the other, never ambiguously both. Approvals follow your roles.
Approved leave marks itself
When a staff leave request is approved, the attendance is marked as leave automatically. This is the single most common place two records drift apart, so we closed it rather than trusting anyone to remember.
Teachers see only their classes
A teacher's view is scoped to the students in the classes they actually take, worked out from class teacher assignment and the timetable. This is enforced on the server, not by hiding a menu.
Usable on a phone
Marking attendance is one of the things teachers should be able to do from the phone in their pocket rather than by walking to a desktop, so the interface is built to stay light.
Straight answer
What we have not built yet
Worth knowing before you plan around it.
Biometric and card-reader device integration. Attendance is marked in the app today rather than pulled from a fingerprint or RFID device on your wall.
Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
- Does NepEdu track staff attendance as well as students?
- Yes. Student attendance and staff attendance are both tracked, in the same system, so the school does not end up with one register in the office and a separate book in the staff room.
- Does it integrate with a biometric or fingerprint device?
- Not today. Attendance is marked in the application rather than imported from a biometric or card-reader device. If device integration is a requirement for your school, tell us, because it helps us prioritise.
- What stops the leave record and the attendance record disagreeing?
- Approving a staff leave request marks that person's attendance as leave automatically. The two are not kept in sync by anyone remembering to do it twice, which is exactly why they normally drift apart.
- Can every teacher see every student's attendance?
- No. Teachers are scoped to the students in the classes they actually take, determined from class teacher assignment and the timetable, and that scoping is enforced on the server rather than by hiding parts of the screen.
- Can parents see their child's attendance?
- Guardians see their own children and nobody else's. What they are shown is governed by the same permission system that governs everything else in the platform.
