Save the Children Thailand uses CommCare to enroll students and track attendance in schools along the Thai-Myanmar border.
Save the Children Thailand created a CommCare application for School Monitoring that enrolls students in schools along the Thai-Myanmar border. The app keeps official enrollment records and tracks attendance and reasons for absenteeism. Students are visited at the beginning of the school year, at mid-year, and at the end of the year to assess progress. Information from the app can also be used to create student ID cards, complete with photos of each individual student. The app was translated into multiple languages so it could be deployed in other regions. Dimagi trained the first 23 users and Save the Children is now scaling up to 100 users.
