Every pupil who has already passed any standard must be presented for a higher standard; provided that at any time, not being less than three months before the examination, the teacher may, if he see fit, place any pupil in the class preparing for the standard which he last passed, and such pupil shall be examined with such class, but shall not be deemed a candidate for a pass, and shall not in any case be reckoned as passing again in the standard for which he is so examined. The teacher shall formally present for examination all the pupils on the school roll, by giving to the Inspector a list or lists of the pupils that are not prepared for Standard I., or a memorandum of the number of such pupils, and for each standard a separate list of the pupils presented to pass the standard, together with a list of those presented to be re-examined in the standard.
