Ambala. Along with the changing times, many changes are also being seen in the field of education, where now along with books, smart rooms are being made for children to study through modern smart tapes. In such a situation, continuous efforts are being made to provide quality education in the schools of Ambala Cantonment Board and children should get better education as well as better environment in the school. Efforts for this are being made by the board.
In fact, in this context, biometric attendance with face recognition cameras is being implemented in Cantonment Board schools and for this, machines have been installed outside the classrooms. Students are marking their attendance through this medium even before entering the class and with this, apart from saving the time of teachers, every student is also being monitored in a smart manner.
Giving more information to Local 18, Cantonment Board CEO Anand Sharma said that this facility has been started in the primary phase in the school of Topkhana Parade. Five machines have been installed here. He said that soon other five machines will also be installed outside the classrooms. He told that attendance will not be checked through the app if you are out of school, this will stop the frauds happening in schools, but with the increase in the attendance of students and teachers in the school, the educational environment will also improve. He said that some such complaints had also reached the board officials in the past that teachers mark their morning and evening attendance in the register a day in advance and this affects the level of education in the school. In such a situation, if any other teacher complained in this regard, discord was maintained with him.
