This register is kept for each arm of classes within the school. It contains the names of students arranged in alphabetical order of surnames. Usually, boys’ names are firstly arranged before the girls. The names of the female students are usually written with red ink. This register shows the daily attendance of each student in school. This record is kept and marked by the class/form teacher. It is marked twice a day; in the morning and in the afternoon the total weekly attendance of each pupil and of the whole class is made on Friday after which the record is passed to the principal or his designated vice for checking and signing. The teacher must sight every student he marks ‘present’. On no account should he (the teacher) marks a student he has not sighted as ‘present’ in the class or school. This record is very helpful in discovering whether any student is in school or not in any particular date and time. It can also help in identifying sick students, truants, absentees and those students that attend school regularly.
