At Intrinsiq, we're back with another edition of our "Challenges vs Solutions" series where we discuss the everyday struggles international schools face and how our tech comes in to make life easier. This time, we’re tackling a classic: Attendance. Sounds simple, right? But anyone working in international education knows just how crucial and complicated it can get, especially when visas are on the line.

Ever feel like you're constantly running around to check if everyone’s in class?

We get it. You’ve got enough on your plate without having to do laps around the school just to find out who’s in and who’s not. That’s where the Intrinsiq Mobile Attendance steps in, giving you real-time updates on absentees directly to your desk. No more guesswork, no more chasing down teachers. Just quick, clear info when and where you need it.

Struggling to keep tabs on students who are missing too many classes?

With Intrinsiq, no student slips through the cracks. The system flags anyone who’s missed consecutive lessons and highlights them on your dashboard, making it easier to follow up and check on their wellbeing. Whether it's a health issue, homesickness, or something else, you’ll be in the loop and able to act early.

Is keeping up with visa attendance thresholds giving you a headache?

We hear this one all the time. Students on visas need to maintain a certain level of attendance and schools need to stay on top of that to avoid issues with immigration authorities. Intrinsiq makes it easy: students whose attendance has dipped below the required threshold are clearly marked, and you’ll even see whether they've already received a previous warning. The system shows you exactly who needs to receive the next tier of communication and whether grounds for dismissal exist. No guesswork. No missed steps. Just crystal-clear compliance.

Need to send a full attendance report to immigration?

No problem. Intrinsiq’s got a one-click report that lists all enrolled students from visa-requiring countries and their attendance averages, ready to send straight to immigration. It’s as easy as hitting "Export." 

With Intrinsiq, you don’t just track attendance, you transform it into a tool for better care, better communication, and full-on visa compliance. From spotting absentee patterns to automating visa processes, we make sure your school runs smarter, not harder.

Stay tuned for our next issue — but in the meantime, if attendance is your daily nightmare, you know who to call. 😉
Spoiler alert: It’s us.
