Assam Launches SMS Alerts for Student Absenteeism

The Assam government started a new system to help students go to school more often.

If a student is absent for five days in a row, the system sends messages to the student's teacher and parents.

These messages remind them to make sure the student goes back to school.

The messages are sent in five different languages to make sure everyone can understand them.

This is to help students stay in school and learn better.

The system will keep sending messages every 5 days until the student returns to school.

Teachers get detailed messages with the student's name and class, while parents get short reminders.
