The numbers are huge and I can't mention an amount off head but I believe is more than 5000 students since I assumed office. When you visit the assembly all the records are there to see. There was a time I asked for the list to be printed for me. Parent didn't like it when I wanted to put the list out because they felt you have assisted", he added.
