Writing a fresh comment for every student on every result card takes hours, especially at the end of term when marks are due the same week. This list gives you 120 teacher comments for report cards and result cards, in English and Urdu, grouped so you can find the right one quickly.

Use them as a starting point. The best comments add one specific detail about the child, such as a subject, a project or a habit, so parents know the teacher really sees their child.

How to write a good report card comment

A good comment has three parts:

  1. Something the student does well, stated specifically.
  2. One thing to improve, framed as the next step, not a criticism.
  3. How parents can help, where it is useful.

For example: "Ayesha explains her answers in Science with confidence. She should now practise neat diagrams. Ten minutes of revision at home each evening will help."

Keep comments short (two or three sentences), positive in tone and honest. Avoid labels like "lazy" or "weak". Describe the behaviour instead.

Frequently asked questions

What should a teacher write on a report card?

Write one strength, one specific next step and, where useful, how parents can help. Keep it to two or three sentences and use positive, honest language.

How do I write a comment for a weak student?

Describe the behaviour, not the child. Instead of "weak in Maths", write "needs daily practice with basic calculations to build confidence". Always end with a clear next step.

Can I write report card comments in Urdu?

Yes. Many Pakistani schools write remarks in Urdu, especially for parents who prefer it. The Urdu comments above can be copied directly onto result cards.
