Officials reported that only around 10,000 students’ attendance has been recorded through the tablet-based system so far. Many schools have not even completed registration of their tablets despite clear instructions from the department.

The government introduced the system to improve transparency and stop fake attendance records in schools. The tablets allow teachers to mark student attendance digitally using facial recognition technology.

A recent review showed that in several districts only 2–3% of students’ attendance is recorded using the tablets. Many schools are still keeping the devices unused.

Education department officials have now warned schools to activate the tablets quickly. Authorities may take action against institutions that continue to ignore the orders.

The minister said the government handled transfers based on subject requirements and available vacancies. Because of this process, officials could not meet every personal request. He added that about 80 percent of teachers accepted their new postings without complaint.

He assured lawmakers that the department will review pending cases. Teachers with older pay scales will also get transfer opportunities in the next phase.

The minister also spoke about updates to the e-Shiksha Kosh portal to ensure accurate attendance records.
