Beyond the paper register

Most Nigerian schools still take attendance on paper, in a class register that lives in a cabinet and is rarely consulted again. By the time a student’s absenteeism becomes a problem, no one has the data to prove the pattern — only the impression.

Edunile’s attendance module gives every class teacher a one-tap interface on phone or laptop. Mark all 35 students present, then individually toggle anyone absent or late. The whole process takes less than 30 seconds. Bulk-mark by class, by arm, or by year group. Submit, and the data is in your dashboard immediately.

Same-day parent notifications

When a student is marked absent, Edunile can automatically send a WhatsApp message to the registered parent within the hour. The message uses an approved template — short, factual, and respectful: "Today is [date]. [Student name] was marked absent for school. Please confirm with the office if you have any questions."

This single feature, on its own, has measurably reduced unauthorised absences in pilot schools. Parents knowing within an hour changes behaviour fast.

Patterns, not just numbers

The student profile shows attendance trends across the term and across the academic year. You can see at a glance which students have crossed concerning thresholds (5+ absences, 3+ consecutive absences, low Friday attendance). The Class Hub gives a heatmap of attendance by date for the whole class.

For end-of-term reports, attendance summaries flow directly into the report card — total days present, total days absent, and a percentage figure that goes on the cover sheet.

Common questions

Can teachers mark attendance from their phone?

Yes. The interface is fully responsive and works on any device with a browser. Most teachers use their phones during morning assembly or at the start of first period.

What attendance states does Edunile support?

Present, absent, late, and excused. Schools can configure which states they use — some only track present/absent, some use the full set.

Are parent notifications optional?

Yes. Schools can enable, disable, or schedule notifications by class. Some schools only notify parents for chronic absentees rather than every absence.
