The state School Education Department in Madhya Pradesh has mandated schools to implement online attendance tracking for students from Classes 9 to 12. This new system, using Education Portal 3.0, aims to closely monitor students with frequent absences. Teachers are required to mark students as Present, Absent, or On Leave on the portal, with the system initially displaying all students as present.
Schools will analyze the attendance data to identify students with consistently low attendance, triggering additional academic support measures. The department has also instructed schools to reach out to parents of chronically absent students, attempting to improve their attendance rates. This initiative comes amid concerns over low donor rates at Bhopal's sole human milk bank, which serves 750 newborns, raising worries among experts.
