It boasts a range of distinctive services catering to over 500,000 students, both male and female, approximately 140,000 teachers and administrators, along with numerous parents.
Among the key features provided by the application for students are access to private academic data, viewing academic certificates, checking attendance records, downloading medical referral forms, and receiving seat numbers for twelfth-grade exams, among others.
Similarly, parents can utilize the app to monitor their children’s academic progress, inquire about attendance records, download medical transfer forms, update student account details in the Teams program, and access various other services.
Furthermore, the application offers Ministry employees, including teachers and administrators, the ability to access job-related information, track attendance and dismissal records, and avail themselves of other administrative services. This marks the initial phase of service provision, with plans for further expansion shortly.
In addition to catering to students, parents, and Ministry personnel, the application also extends services to visitors, offering functionalities akin to those found on the Ministry’s website. Notable features include access to Ministry statistics and the academic calendar.
