One more comment on

<<Type Grade_report_record is RECORD
    Names : string;
    grades : character; -- or you can use the numeric grade natural
                                      -- or float.
end record;
>>


(remembe that the use of String here is just plain wrong :-))

But another point is that the use of plurals for the field names is
styulistically incorrect. The field names should be Name and Grade
(please also use consistent casing conventions, the above example is
all over the place with respect to that requirement as well!)
