Editing learners’ attendance on Kurasa ensures that learner attendance records remain accurate and up to date. Sometimes a learner’s attendance status may change during the day or may have been marked incorrectly. Kurasa allows class teachers to easily update these records without redoing the entire attendance process.
Attendance editing is done directly from the Class Teacher section, where daily attendance is managed.
Where to find the attendance section #
The attendance section is found under the Class Teacher area.
To access it:
- Click on the menu icon (three lines) at the top left
- Scroll down and select your class under Class Teacher
- Scroll down and click on Attendance
This opens the attendance page for the selected class.
Editing attendance for a learner #
Once attendance has already been marked, you can edit an individual learner’s attendance status.
To edit attendance:
- On the Attendance page, locate the learner whose attendance you want to change
- Click on the attendance status icon next to the learner’s name
- Choose the correct status:
- Full-day present
- Half-day present
- Absent
- Add a comment if required
- Click Update to save the change
The updated attendance status will reflect immediately.
Changing attendance status #
Kurasa allows flexible updates to attendance records, as shown in the video.
You can:
- Change a learner from full-day present to half-day present
- Change a learner from full-day present to absent
- Change a learner from half-day present to full-day present
- Change a learner from absent to half-day or full-day present
This ensures that attendance records accurately reflect what happened during the school day.
Confirming attendance updates #
After editing:
- The learner’s updated status is displayed on the attendance list
- The attendance record is saved for that date
- Reports and attendance summaries automatically reflect the change
No additional action is required.
Why editing attendance is important #
Editing attendance helps schools:
- Maintain accurate daily records
- Correct mistakes made during initial marking
- Reflect late arrivals, early departures, or absences correctly
- Keep reliable data for attendance reports and follow-up
Accurate attendance records support learner welfare and school accountability.
