For a country where concerns about teacher absenteeism frequently appear in conversations about public education, the idea deserves wider attention. Delta SUBEB chairman Samuel Mariere said teacher absenteeism had contributed to some parents withdrawing their children from public schools. This direction is consistent with broader evidence from Delta State. A digital attendance platform can provide a clearer picture. If implemented consistently, evaluated honestly and supported with the necessary infrastructure, its technology-based teacher attendance model could offer valuable lessons for a Nigerian education system that increasingly needs better data, stronger accountability and smarter management.
