Walk-through attendance
Students just walk in.
Attendance marks itself.
Schoolyam supports long-range RFID attendance — a reader at the gate detects each student’s card by radio signal as they walk past. Nothing to tap, nobody to queue behind, no teacher standing with a register. By the time the child reaches assembly, the school is marked and absent parents have been told.
How it works at the gate
- ✓
Signal, not touchThe reader picks the card up from a distance as the student moves.

Whole queue at onceMany students can pass together — the gate never becomes a bottleneck.
What happens next, automatically

Walk-through RFID vs tap-card systems
Tap / swipe systems
- Every child must stop and present a card
- Queues build up at the gate each morning
- Cards get damaged from constant handling
- Someone has to supervise the tapping
Schoolyam walk-through RFID
- Card is read by signal as the student walks in
- Several students can pass together
- Card stays in the bag or I-card holder
- No supervision needed — it runs itself
