Touch Registration: EMA Administration

The introduction of the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) has led to an increased need for efficient and accurate pupil attendance gathering systems. Touch Registration and the Sentinel software simplifies the administration of the EMA by providing the tools to gather reliable attendance data that can be used to assess payment decisions accurately and impartially:

• Enables grouping of all EMA students
• Interfaces directly with the Government system
• Unbiased, accurate attendance reports
• Full, easily accessible audit trail for every student, viewable by individual or group
• Enables quick pay / not pay decision making
• Save, email and print reports
• Pull up individual student attendance records to assist students in payment appeals
• Clear, concise and easy to use - no unnecessary reports or paperwork

Controlled Reporting

The data gathered can be used to produce a number of standard and customised reports, helping you effectively monitor the scheme and assess EMA payments. Standard reports enable efficient entry into the EMASYS system for the Assessment and Payment Body (APB). These reports include fields such as possible attendance, actual attendance, reasons for absence and the attendance as a percentage.

Reports can be tailored to meet all your EMA needs. Field entries may be altered to enable you to list EMA students in total, by tutor group, year, subject or individually. In addition, the weekly attendance can be viewed in full or broken down by day or by lesson.

Attendance reports have always come as standard with every Sentinel system - there is no need to purchase any expensive extras or additional software. We have also worked with the government to create export files for the APB which also now come as standard.
