Background of the Study
Accurate monitoring of student attendance is vital for enhancing academic performance, ensuring accountability, and optimizing resource allocation. At Federal Polytechnic Bauchi in Bauchi State, traditional attendance tracking methods, often manual and paper-based, are inefficient and prone to errors. The implementation of a cloud-based student attendance monitoring system using data science techniques offers an innovative solution to these challenges. By leveraging cloud computing, the system can securely store and process attendance data in real time, allowing for remote access and analysis (Aminu, 2023). Data science techniques such as predictive analytics and anomaly detection can be applied to identify patterns in attendance behavior, flag inconsistencies, and forecast potential issues such as chronic absenteeism. This real-time data processing not only improves administrative efficiency but also enables timely interventions to support student engagement and academic success (Chinwe, 2024). The use of cloud technology ensures scalability, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness, making the system accessible to institutions with limited resources. Furthermore, the integration of mobile applications and automated alerts enhances communication between faculty, students, and administrators. Despite these advantages, challenges such as data security, user adoption, and integration with existing institutional systems must be addressed. This study aims to design and implement a cloud-based attendance monitoring system that utilizes data science to enhance accuracy, reliability, and real-time monitoring at Federal Polytechnic Bauchi. The research will evaluate the system’s impact on administrative processes and student outcomes, providing a framework that can be adapted to other educational institutions.

Statement of the Problem
Federal Polytechnic Bauchi currently faces significant challenges with its manual attendance monitoring system, which is inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors. The reliance on paper-based methods often results in inaccurate records, delayed reporting, and difficulties in identifying absenteeism trends (Oluwaseun, 2023). This inefficiency negatively affects administrative decision-making, resource allocation, and ultimately, student performance. Furthermore, the absence of a real-time monitoring system prevents timely interventions for students exhibiting irregular attendance patterns. Although cloud-based solutions and data science techniques have the potential to address these issues, their implementation is hindered by concerns over data security, integration with existing systems, and resistance to change among staff. This study seeks to address these challenges by developing a cloud-based student attendance monitoring system that leverages data science for real-time analysis and reporting. The research will assess whether the proposed system can improve the accuracy of attendance records, reduce administrative workload, and enhance overall student engagement. Additionally, it will identify the primary obstacles to implementation and propose strategies for overcoming them. The goal is to create a robust, scalable, and secure attendance monitoring system that can serve as a model for other institutions facing similar challenges (Ibrahim, 2024).

Objectives of the Study:

  • To design and implement a cloud-based attendance monitoring system.

  • To leverage data science techniques for real-time analysis of attendance data.

  • To identify and address challenges related to system integration and data security.

Research Questions:

  • How does a cloud-based system improve the accuracy and efficiency of attendance monitoring?

  • What role do data science techniques play in analyzing attendance trends?

  • What challenges affect the implementation of such a system, and how can they be mitigated?

Significance of the Study
This study is significant as it demonstrates the potential of cloud-based technologies combined with data science to transform student attendance monitoring at Federal Polytechnic Bauchi. The research aims to improve administrative efficiency, ensure timely interventions, and enhance overall student engagement. The findings will provide practical insights for educational administrators seeking to adopt modern, data-driven attendance systems.

Scope and Limitations of the Study:
The study is limited to the implementation and evaluation of a cloud-based attendance monitoring system at Federal Polytechnic Bauchi, Bauchi State, and does not extend to other administrative functions or institutions.

Definitions of Terms:

  • Cloud-Based System: A technology that utilizes remote servers hosted on the internet to store and process data.

  • Attendance Monitoring: The process of recording and tracking student presence in educational sessions.

Data Science Techniques: Methods used to extract insights from data, including analytics, machine learning, and statistical analysis
