Overview

One of the key features of the Meshed Platform is its ability to generate reports that provide insights into student performance, attendance, and other important metrics.

There are a number of reports that can be generated, and some common types include:

1. Attendance reports: These reports provide information about student attendance, including the number of classes attended and missed, and any tardiness or early departures.

2. Academic performance reports: These reports provide an overview of a student's academic progress, including their grades, results, and overall performance in individual subjects.

3. Student progress reports: These reports provide an overview of a student's progress towards their academic goals, including any milestones or achievements they have reached.

4. Demographic reports: These reports provide information about the demographics of a student population, including age, gender, race, and ethnicity.

5. Financial reports: These reports provide information about the financial status of a student, including any outstanding fees, payments made, and financial statistics.

Overall, reports generated are an essential tool for educational providers, as they provide valuable insights into student performance, attendance, and progress. These reports can be used to identify areas for improvement, track trends, and make data-driven decisions to improve the overall performance of the institution and its students.

Reports in the Meshed Platform are predefined in the system and are grouped in categories .Templates in the system can be used when sending frequent Letters, SMS, and Emails. e.g. College Welcome, Orientation, Payment Reminders, Course Timetable information etc.and can be exported in Excel compatible formats.
