Benefits
- Saving Time for Teachers
This is arguably the most immediate benefit of having an attendance management system.

However, Teachmint can help eliminate all such problems.
- Better Compliance on The Side of The Students
Since the attendance is monitored automatically, the students will not get a chance to argue with anyone because if they don’t do it themselves they will be marked absent. Of course, amends can be made by the teachers in case of genuine mistakes on the side of the student, but in general, this means that attendance management becomes so much easier than before. In addition to better compliance, the system will also foster soft skills such as punctuality in the students, as they will be accountable if they don’t do it.
