Sindh's new facial recognition-based attendance system, known as FRAMES, encountered technical difficulties on its inaugural day in a pilot phase across six districts. The system, aimed at improving transparency and monitoring staff punctuality and absenteeism, was rolled out in Karachi East, Hyderabad, Naushahro Feroze, Jacobabad, Ghotki, and Umerkot.
Covering 49,565 teaching and non-teaching employees, the pilot phase faced challenges as some staff members at certain schools encountered server-related problems and errors indicating unassigned schools. Some employees were forced to revert to the traditional paper-based attendance system due to the unsuccessful manual registration attempts.
The FRAMES application requires users to mark attendance upon arrival and departure, using facial recognition to verify identity and record attendance times. It also enables employees to submit leave applications and access/download monthly attendance records. The technical issues reported during the initial rollout are expected to be reviewed during the trial phase.
Authorities plan to evaluate the pilot results and consider expanding the system to public schools across Sindh.
