Fingerprint Biometric Attendance System
CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
The increasing complexity of administrative operations in Colegio de St. Monique in Binangonan, Rizal, is the effect of the growing population of students, faculty and administration and the physical expansion of the institution. The increase in complexity means additional manpower and workloads and more complicated data processing system.
To meet the growing needs of education, the institution, as a result formulated new innovations, techniques, methods and modernized equipment to aid the complexity of operations.
