Teacher and student attendance will be recorded through the MahaStudent app.
Mumbai: The Department of School Education has approved to digitally record the attendance of all students and teachers in schools in the state by providing simple system based facilities. This information should be recorded through the MahaStudent app, which has been instructed by Prof. Varsha Gaikwad, Minister for School Education. He said that this would help in the immediate detection of the presence of students and teachers at the state, district, taluka and central levels.
Under the Advanced Educational Maharashtra program, a movement of technology-friendly teachers and digital schools has sprung up in the state. Information of all schools, teachers and students has been filled on the simple system in the state. The Government of India has developed an index called ‘Performance Grading Index’ which will provide marks for the digital attendance of teachers and students. In this regard, it has been approved to register this presence in the simple system developed by the state.
The app is available on the Google Play Store and will allow teachers to digitally record student attendance and absenteeism. There will also be a facility to register the attendance of all teachers. Due to this app, it will not be necessary to keep the attendance forms of the students separately and also to fill the separate information of the students under the mid-day meal scheme, said Rajendra Pawar, Joint Secretary, School Education Department through a circular.
