Sindh Education and Literacy Department on Wednesday launched the Sindh School Daily Monitoring System (SSDMS), an app to ensure the attendance of teachers in schools, reported 24NewsHD TV channel. 

The teachers will register attendance on a daily basis through the Android application. The app would alert the education department in case a teacher skips school so they can follow up.
