Sindh’s School Education and Literacy Department (SELD) has given a final warning to teachers who are not marking their attendance through Sindh School Daily Monitoring System (SSDMS).
SSDMS mobile application was launched in March of last year. It was launched simultaneously in at least one school of each of Sindh’s 29 districts.
More than 10 months after its launch, many teachers are still not using SSDMS, making it difficult for the authorities to keep a track of their attendance.
The SELD has ordered non-compliant teachers to start marking their attendance through the application from 16 January. Otherwise, disciplinary proceedings will be launched against them.
The SELD in collaboration with UNICEF launched the SSDMS mobile application on 16 March 2022. The app aimed to help SELD to track the attendance of students, teachers, and staff members.
SSDMS was funded by the European Union (EU), the application also sends an SMS to parents and teachers in case a student remains absent from school.

What about teachers who are working in villages where there is no network working properly? And what about all those new jests who are working without a salary for almost 6 months so who are going to pay their mobile bills?
Biometric attendance system is a great way to count presence of everyone. But, it must be mandatory to all staff of school not for students. If any member would be absent, so his/her salary should be deducted and the amount must be set a side for the future to fulfill students’ essentials because they are very poor. If they would have money, so their parents never send them to government school.
