Celebrating its one-year anniversary, the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Attendance Register has become a cornerstone in the education sector, streamlining the process of tracking teacher attendance and enhancing overall accountability.
In this article, we delve into the significance of the TSC Attendance Register, offering insights into its structure, purpose, and how to efficiently utilize the accompanying PDF download.
Understanding the TSC Attendance Register PDF
The TSC/QAS/TPAD/TLAR/01/REV.2 form is a two-page document that serves as the Teacher Lesson Attendance Register (TLAR).
Designed by the Teachers Service Commission, this register is a comprehensive tool for monitoring teacher attendance, lesson schedules, and analyzing weekly data.
Navigating the TLAR PDF: A Step-by-Step Guide
- Header Details:
- The TLAR begins with essential details, including the school’s name, class/grade/form, academic year, term, and week.
- Lesson Schedule:
- A well-organized table follows, breaking down each day from Monday to Friday, allowing teachers to input the time in, time out, and denote whether assignments were given.
- Teacher Absence Records:
- The second page of the TLAR is dedicated to recording teacher absences, providing a space for reasons behind each absence.
- Weekly Analysis:
- A crucial section tallies the total number of teachers absent, distinguishing between those with and without permission. It also tracks lessons taught and those left untaught.
Strategic Tips for Efficient Usage
- Delegate Responsibilities:
- Empower class secretaries or monitors to complete the TLAR with the knowledge of teachers. This ensures accuracy and timely submission.
- Deputy Head’s Role:
- The completed form should be handed over to the Deputy Head of the institution for analysis and weekly completion. They are responsible for overseeing lower primary entries and verifying accuracy.
- Submission Protocol:
- Deputy Heads are tasked with submitting the teacher lesson attendance analysis on a weekly basis, every Monday. This timely submission ensures swift action and intervention when necessary.
- Documentation:
- After analysis, the Head of the Institution should file all TLAR forms systematically. This guarantees accessibility when needed and fosters a culture of transparency.
The Impact of TSC Attendance Register
- Enhanced Accountability:
- The TLAR promotes transparency and accountability, allowing educational institutions to monitor teacher attendance effectively.
- Data-Driven Decision Making:
- Weekly analysis enables schools to make informed decisions, identifying patterns in teacher attendance and addressing any underlying issues promptly.

- By digitizing the TLAR with the provided PDF, schools can streamline administrative processes, reducing paperwork and saving valuable time.
