Ministry launches ‘Wajod’ app for fingerprint verification

• The ‘Wajod’ application’s mechanism will address the fingerprint verification challenge faced by teachers assigned to ‘control’ work, who often encounter difficulties returning to schools to validate their exit fingerprint due to their duties in ‘control.’

Educational sources have announced the launch of the ‘Wajod’ application by the Ministry of Education. This app enables fingerprint verification using a mobile phone.

According to sources speaking to Al-Jarida, the Information Systems Department has fully developed the application, which is compatible with iOS and Android devices. The ministry intends to deploy the app to track attendance and departures for workers in the ‘Secondary Control’ departments covering scientific, literary, and religious education.

The sources elaborated that the application, installed on mobile phones, operates based on geographical coordinates and is Bluetooth-linked to the fingerprint system. This setup allows ‘control’ officials to monitor taxpayer attendance and departures, ensure adherence to required working hours, and identify absentee taxpayers.

The new application’s mechanism is expected to address the fingerprint verification challenge faced by teachers assigned to ‘control’ work, who often encounter difficulties returning to schools to validate their exit fingerprint due to their duties in ‘control.’
