These machines have built in GPRS / 3G connectivity to real time transmission of attendance data to the servers. All staff members of institutions are now reaching in-time in institutions as they were not in previously, even in remote areas.
Data is the lifeline of every educational institution. Right from the student turnover rate to the financial records, every piece of data that is ever associated with the institute paves way for its development. The bigger the institution, the greater the volume of data, which makes it challenging to manage on paper or even with excel files.
Today, most of the higher education institutions are looking for an optimum distribution of resources and services to yield maximum benefits to students, teachers, and the management alike. In this world of ballooning educational demands, Educational Management Information System (EMIS) is just what these institutions need to propel their progress in the right direction.
Education Management Information System (EMIS) is specially designed to monitor the performance of education programs offered by the institutions and to manage the distribution and allocation of educational resources. Of course, in the field of education, EMIS has specific roles to help an educational institution grow. FDE developed its own HREMIS system that contains HR Management, Students Management, Institute Management, Education Census, Budget Management and Attendance Management System. All educational institutions are responsible to update data on daily basis that makes data as real time data.
Federal Minister, Federal Secretary, Director General (FDE), Directors (FDE) and Area Education Officers (AEOs) have their credentials to check and monitor that data.
Close Circuit Television (CCTV) Cameras
IP based CCTV cameras in every Educational institution have been installed to monitor the security of institutors. In the previous years Pakistan was front line of Terrorism. Educational institutions were soft target of terrorism so for protection of institutions CCTV cameras were installed that were linked with FDE control room.
