Sindh province has rolled out the Student Attendance Monitoring and Reporting System (SAMRS) in over 600 schools—part of a broader push to digitise education supervision. The system uses biometric or mobile-app check-in to capture student attendance in real time, enabling authorities to flag drop-outs, improve resource allocation and monitor teacher presence. Education stakeholders believe this effort can reduce absenteeism, enhance policy responsiveness and ensure funds are directed to needy areas. However, some critics argue that technology alone cannot solve deeper issues like teacher shortages, infrastructure deficits and curricular relevance. The pilot programme serves as a test-bed for province-wide scale-up, where data-driven insights can shape education-policy reform and empower oversight bodies with evidence.
