  12. MODEOF INTERNAL ASSESSMENT • Weekly Lesson Report is used to monitor the student’s academic progress. • Progress Tests are given to students at about 10 weeks intervals. • Internal Year-end Examinations is to help students in their preparation for the main external exam. • Student Reports are issued every 3 months to inform parents/guardians of their students’ progress and to recommend improvement actions.
