This document describes a proposed smart attendance system using QR codes with SMS notifications. The system aims to streamline the attendance taking process for educators by having students scan QR codes to mark their attendance digitally. Lecturers would be able to generate and manage student attendance QR codes through a web-based system. The digital attendance records would then be used to send automated weekly attendance reports to parents via SMS. The proposed system seeks to address issues with current manual attendance taking processes like lost records, student truancy, and lack of parent notifications.
