The record
Written from the 1 report below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Udgam School for Children in Ahmedabad has rolled out an AI face recognition attendance system across its 91 classrooms, replacing manual roll calls.
- A student's attendance is recorded with a face scan of about 3 seconds as they enter class, with entries updated instantly in the school's ERP system.
- The school says this improves accuracy, helps track late arrivals, and lets parents get timely information about their child's presence, while freeing up an estimated 66,000 student hours a year.
- It is an example of AI being used directly in everyday school administration in India.
What to watch next
- How parents respond to the use of face recognition on children and any privacy concerns that emerge
- Whether other schools adopt similar AI attendance systems
- How the school uses accumulated late-arrival data for corrective action
