Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Complaints of teachers allegedly marking their attendance without physically attending schools have emerged from different districts of Madhya Pradesh, raising questions over the reliability of the school education department’s e-attendance system.

In Madhya Pradesh, complaints have surfaced across various districts alleging that teachers are manipulating the school's e-attendance system using pre-recorded videos on the Hamare Shikshak app. According to sources, teachers are falsely marking their presence on school premises even when they are absent and not signing the physical attendance register. Some teachers are reportedly being assisted by other staff members in this fraudulent activity.
The issue came to light in Singrauli district, where District Education Officer (DEO) suspended guest teacher Skesh Kumar Yadav for marking attendance despite not being physically present in the school. Video calls revealed that Yadav did not sign the attendance register and was absent from school on the days his attendance was marked. However, the education portal showed his attendance as verified for all three days.
The digital attendance system was implemented to ensure teachers' regular presence in schools. In response to the complaints, the department plans to recognize teachers who utilize the system effectively by awarding them digital appreciation certificates for punctual attendance and other official use. Secretary Sanjay Goyal directed officials to issue these certificates.
