, with CSE and CMVM following in semester 2. 1. What is Attendance Management? College and School staff will be aware that the UK Border Agency (UKBA) has introduced new regulations governing the immigration of staff and students to the UK, an initiative instigated by the previous Prime Minister in 2004, which are closely modelled on those devised by Australia some years ago. Under the new regulations, students will have to submit certain material when they apply for a course. The University will have to keep records on all overseas students. It will have to verify students' identity when they arrive, and will have to keep track of the students as they progress through the degree programme and report them to the relevant authorities if they fail to attend. This paper focuses purely on this latter requirement: how we propose to manage the work associated with monitoring the attendance of UG and PG students. The principle behind the draft proposals below is that we will change our current business processes as little as possible in order to comply with the requirements of the UKBA. Although these requirements only come into force on 1 February 2010, CHSS proposes to introduce them at the start of the new session from 22nd September 2009 in a pilot, in order to save upheaval and potential confusion mid-session. It has now become clear that a light touch approach is acceptable: it is for each Higher Education Institute (HEI) to decide how to monitor non-attendance, in the light of its structure, type of courses, etc. In particular UKBA do not require a minimum percentage attendance; nor do they require HEIs to put in place new attendance recording mechanisms such as registers, swipe cards, etc. It has been agreed at Edinburgh that the attendance of all students should be monitored, and not only of those who are international – that, it was felt, would not only have been seen as discriminatory by all students, but it would not have allowed us to use this new monitoring as an opportunity to improve the support offered to all students by identifying early those in need of assistance and advice. It is proposed therefore that staff will keep track of all students regardless of their immigration status as they progress through the University, and report them to the School for investigation if they fail to submit essays, sit exams, turn up for lab

This study aimed to examine the challenges encountered by science teachers in implementing modular distance learning and the coping strategies they employed to address these challenges. Using a mixed-method research approach, data were collected through a survey of thirty-eight Junior High School science teachers in Mandaon District in Masbate, Philippines. Findings revealed that the implementation of modular distance learning presented various challenges, including technical problems, distribution and retrieval difficulties, student utilization issues, and unreliable assessment results. To cope with these challenges, teachers employed various strategies, including attending ICT training, asking for technical assistance, developing income-generating projects, and utilizing differentiated instruction and targeted assessments. The study also highlights the need for more parental involvement, adequate funding for schools, clear instructions and guidance to students, and proper monitori...
