Day scholar is a term often used to describe a student who lives at home and commutes to school each day. This term is commonly used in India, Pakistan and other South Asian countries. However, there are many other terms that can be used to describe a day scholar, including commuter, non-residential student, day attendee, or day student. Each of these terms refers to the same concept of a student who attends school during the day and then returns home at night. Regardless of the term used, day scholars play an important role in the education system and are an important part of any school community.
