Abstract

This report presents evidence from a study of the government’s capital modernisation programme to
support the installation of e-registration systems in secondary schools in England with the highest
levels of unauthorised absence provided they did not already have an e-registration system other
than one based on an optical mark reader. These are electronic systems that enable schools to take
the register twice daily, as a minimum, to meet legal requirements. In practice, and especially over
the course of this 3-year project, additional facilities increased substantially, e.g. to include lesson
monitoring and means to alert parents by text message. Hence, this was and continues to be a rapidly
evolving field: in the near future it may be expected that greater use will be made of biometric data,
for example. A total budget of £11.25 million was made available to fund systems in 538 schools,
starting from 2002. The evaluation took place over the period April 2002 to December 2005.
