EduNest / Attendance

School Attendance & Facial Recognition Software

Check-in that runs itself

No register, no manual roll call, no chasing a class teacher for numbers at 9am. EduNest knows who's in the building the moment they walk through the gate.

Attendance is a paper register or a manual roll call, tallied up after the fact.

A facial recognition kiosk checks students in at the gate, with an offline queue and PIN override so it never breaks down.

Teachers re-enter attendance per period, per subject, by hand.

A weekly marking grid covers every class, day and subject period — and a mobile roster lets teachers manage by exception, not by re-entering everyone.

Approved leave and attendance records live in different systems that don't talk to each other.

Approved leave requests from the parent portal sync straight into the attendance record — no manual reconciliation.

Nobody notices an attendance pattern until report card time.

Classroom, monthly and level-wide analytics surface patterns as they happen, with a full photo audit log behind every kiosk check-in.

The gate kiosk

Built to keep working, even offline

Facial recognition handles the normal case; the kiosk is built for the exceptions too — a queued offline mode when connectivity drops, PIN override for a face that won't scan, and a photo audit log behind every check-in for accountability.

Gate pickers

Track who's authorised to collect a student at pickup.

Offline queue

Check-ins queue and sync once connectivity returns.

PIN override

A fallback for any student the kiosk can't scan.

Photo audit log

Every check-in recorded for accountability and safety.

Closed-loop campus safety

Attendance, boarding and the gate are one chain

Because it all runs on one database, an approved exeat does not stop at a piece of paper — it clears the turnstile, updates the hostel roll call, excuses the student on Monday's register and adjusts the dining count.
