Abstract
<p>Child safety and security have become paramount concerns for parents in today's world marked by an increase in kidnapping cases, missing children, and road accidents. Parents often face the dilemma of long working hours, leaving them with limited time to monitor and safeguard their children. In such circumstances, it becomes the responsibility of schools to ensure the safety of their students. This includes promptly addressing any issues that may arise and notifying parents if their children are not present at school during the designated hours. However, manual monitoring and notification processes are cumbersome and time-consuming for school administrations. Checking each student individually and notifying parents manually is impractical. Therefore, the adoption of technology and automated systems is the most effective solution. This system can include features such as alerting students through buzzers or LED indicators when they board the wrong school bus. Additionally, a programmed SMS system can be employed to inform parents if their child does not arrive at school on time. The heart of this solution lies in the use of Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology, with RFID tags assigned to each student. RFID-based detection units on school buses identify these tags, ensuring accurate attendance tracking. Parents can also access a web portal to monitor and update their child's information. This paper explores the implementation of an RFID-based school security system that significantly enhances child safety, reduces parental concerns, and mitigates security risks. It presents the system's design, reviews relevant literature, discusses analysis and results, and concludes by summarizing the research findings.</p>
