1. The Pitfalls of Manual Paper Registers

For decades, teachers in Indian schools spent 10–15 minutes every morning marking paper registers. These paper logs are susceptible to physical damage, transcription mistakes during monthly roll-up calculations, and delay notifying parents of unexcused absences.

With Alpha Edu Hub attendance module, teachers record section attendance in less than 30 seconds using any tablet or smartphone, updating central school databases instantaneously.
