Sensors to detect attendance of students in class.

Question

Can sensors detect a particular person? So that we can get automatic attendance while the students enter the class room .If it is possible it is helpful for all educational institutions to get attendance.

Here, there was a time a few years ago (I don't know if they still do it) it was even more intrusive; overseas paying students had to have their fingerprint scanned each day at college.. Personally I think another method is to just trust the students.. Give them reasons to want to learn, or trust that they have good reasons not to attend. For schools, taking a class register is at least an opportunity for brief interaction between the teacher and each student in the mornings. Growing up, some teachers wanted to keep it formal, while some didn't care what we said during that brief interaction, as long as some (non-rude) words came out - so the kids got creative each morning.
