It is very important to keep track of the physical development of the students so that it can be used when the need arises. For example, if some students are physically weak or suffering from any disorder, they can be treated regularly by consulting a doctor or advised on a balanced diet. 

The following matters should be reviewed and recorded on the chart at the time of admission to school and at the beginning of each academic year.

(2) Weight

 

 (3) Condition of vision

 

(4) Condition of hearing

 

 (5) Any infectious disease if any

 

(6) General physical condition
