TruancyGuard
Truancy and non-attendance by students is an international
problem experienced by schools across the social and economic spectrum.
In 2007 the UK alone spent over £750 million combating truancy, only
for the problem to get significantly worse. It is widely
recognised that this growing problem requires a more technically
advanced solution to combat the problem directly, while at the same
time working in other areas to address the root causes of truancy.
TruancyGuard is the solution to the technology side of this complex
and deep rooted problem. By combining biometric recording of student
attendance with highly advanced reporting, many common excuses for
truancy can be eliminated overnight. The system is user friendly and
student data is protected in a range of ways, making it impossible to
recreate any fingerprint image from the data that is stored. It is
impossible for students to fake their attendance or check in for each
other, and by notifying parents of student non-attendance automatically
the amount of paperwork and manual following up on an individual
student basis is drastically reduced. The growing problem of parents
denying knowledge of truancy is also combated. Schools can divert the
huge amount of time that is saved by automating the
attendance management process back into the core function of education,
confident that student attendance information is accurate. The
inevitable human error factor that comes with any regular manual
data recording is also completely eliminated.
A highly advanced product such as TruancyGuard has numerous
features, many of which are customised to individual school or college
requirements. In order to find out more specific information, or to
