Student and staff attendance
Attendance management system for schools
Replace paper registers with digital attendance records, absence alerts, class summaries, staff attendance visibility, and exportable reports for Kenyan school administrators.
Daily accountability
Know who is present, absent, late, or missing from class without waiting for paper registers.
EBingwa gives teachers and administrators a faster way to record attendance and spot absence patterns. Attendance records connect to learners, classes, streams, terms, parents, and reports, making it easier to act early when a learner starts missing school.
Attendance workflows covered
- Daily class attendance for learners by class, stream, and term.
- Absence, lateness, present, excused, and custom attendance status tracking.
- Parent alerts and absence follow-up through SMS communication.
- Monthly attendance summaries, exports, and school-level reports.
Problems solved
Why paper attendance creates risk for schools.
A paper register tells the office what happened only after it is collected, checked, and summarized. Digital attendance gives leadership useful visibility while the school day is still active.
Manual registers are slow
Reduce time spent collecting books, checking handwritten entries, and transferring attendance into spreadsheets.
Absence patterns are missed
Identify repeated absence or lateness early so class teachers and administrators can intervene.
Parents are informed late
Send absence alerts faster so guardians know when a learner has not been marked present.
