Barcode and QR Attendance for Pakistani Schools
Schooliee Team2 min readBarcode and QR Attendance for Pakistani Schools
Attendance is a daily task in every school, and the method you choose affects how long it takes and how quickly parents hear about absences. This guide covers the attendance methods Schooliee supports.
The Ways to Mark Attendance
1. Manual Marking
Teachers or staff mark each student as present, absent or late in Schooliee. This works well for a single class, or for a school that prefers to mark attendance in class.
2. Barcode and QR Scanning
Students can be identified by a barcode or QR code. Scanning works with:
- A phone camera
- A USB barcode scanner
A scanner at the gate or in a classroom can speed up roll call in larger schools.
Absence Messages to Parents
When attendance is marked, Schooliee can send an automatic WhatsApp message to the parent. The message is sent from the school's own WhatsApp number. A sample message:
"Assalam-o-Alaikum. [Student name] was marked absent today. If your child is unwell, please contact the school office."
Reports and Exports
Attendance records can be reviewed in Schooliee's reports and exported to Excel or PDF. Check that the export format fits the register your school or inspectors require.
Before You Buy
- Decide which marking method suits each section, and test it with a real class.
