Testimonial is a a written declaration certifying to a person’s character, conduct, or qualifications, or to the value, excellence, etc., of a thing; a letter or written statement of recommendation. something given or done as an expression of esteem, admiration, or gratitude.
In practice transfer certificates are still required by schools to move a child from one school to another. The purpose is to ‘release’ a student from one school so that they can join another — thus effectively admitting to the fact that the school is a restricted environment where freedoms are curtailed.
Keeping good records helps the school protect institutional memory as well as maintain evidence of activities, transactions, and decisions. An effective records management system can save money on storage and improve an the schools’ efficiency especially now that issues of schools attended are becoming court cases.
