Background of the Study
Biometric attendance systems have gained significant popularity in schools as an efficient and accurate means of tracking student attendance. These systems use unique biological traits, such as fingerprints or facial recognition, to identify students, ensuring that attendance is accurately recorded and preventing proxy attendance. The adoption of biometric systems has the potential to streamline administrative processes, reduce human error, and enhance school security by ensuring that only authorized individuals are allowed access to school premises.
In Bida Local Government Area, Niger State, secondary schools face challenges related to traditional manual attendance systems, which are prone to inaccuracies, delays, and unauthorized access. By implementing a biometric attendance system, schools can improve the efficiency of attendance recording and management while also providing a secure means of monitoring student presence. This study seeks to explore the feasibility, impact, and challenges of implementing biometric attendance systems in secondary schools in Bida.
Statement of the Problem
Secondary schools in Bida Local Government Area face challenges with traditional attendance systems that rely on paper-based methods or manual logging. These systems are prone to errors, and students can easily falsify their attendance records. Furthermore, managing large numbers of students and ensuring school security is a constant concern. The implementation of biometric attendance systems offers a potential solution to these problems, but its effectiveness, challenges, and potential for adoption in Bida secondary schools have yet to be explored in depth.
