Sindh Chief Minister Syed Murad Ali Shah has approved the launch of the Facial Recognition Attendance Monitoring and Evaluation System (FRAMES) to digitally monitor the attendance of teachers and school staff across the province.
The approval came during a high level meeting of the School Education Department attended by Education Minister Syed Sardar Ali Shah, Chief Secretary Asif Hyder Shah, School Education Secretary Zahid Abbasi, and other senior officials.
The chief minister said the government will officially launch FRAMES in six districts from August 17 as part of the first phase of implementation.
Under the new system, the Education Department will use facial recognition technology to record and monitor the attendance of teaching and non teaching staff in government schools.
Officials informed the meeting that the department has completed all technical preparations for the rollout. They said authorities selected one district from each division for the pilot phase and completed the registration of teaching and non teaching staff in all six districts.
The officials added that the system can operate in both online and offline modes, allowing it to function even in areas with limited internet connectivity. They also said the department has completed the geo tagging of schools, while the system will automatically record teachers’ arrival and departure times and maintain secure attendance records.
