Revision of Examination System for Class One To Five

Revision of Examination System for Class One To Five The Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) in its meeting held on 25.10.2016 has agreed that Learning Outcomes be codified and made a part of Central Rules of Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act, 2009. The precise modalities of this are being finalized. The National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has developed Learning Outcomes for all subjects covering all classes at the Elementary Stage as an exemplar for guiding States and UTs to facilitate the monitoring of students' learning against expected benchmarks. The assessment of learning levels of students will, accordingly, be linked to these Learning Outcomes and may require a revision in the examination system, wherever necessary. The findings of the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER), 2014, which is a household survey in rural areas conducted by PRATHAM, a non-governmental organization, suggest that in standard III, only a fourth of all children can read a standard II text fluently and this number rises to just under half in standard V in rural India. The Department of School Education & Literacy, Ministry of Human Resource Development was not associated with the ASER 2014 survey. The Learning Outcomes are process-based which provide check points to assess the progress of a child as per the expected holistic learning for overall development of a child. It will also help to organize additional instructions for children who have learning gaps and to share the progress of the child with parents or guardians and identify the overall performance of a school with regard to learning and teacher effectiveness. This information was given by the Minister of State (HRD), Shri Upendra Kushwaha today in a written reply to a Rajya Sabha question.
