Our HRD minister has recently announced many reforms in the examination system of our country. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) “...to look at the holistic assessment of a learner which also includes co- scholastic area of Life Skills, Attitudes and Values, Sports and Games as well as Co-Curricular activities...”
It is quite reassuring to see that since the release of National Curriculum Framework 2005, by NCERT, the ministry is actually implementing the NCF -2005 through CBSE.
Hon’ble Union Minister for Human Resource Development also announced-
“Push the process of examination reform in accordance with NCF 2005. This will include making the Class X examination optional, thus permitting students continuing in the same school (and who do not need a board certificate) to take an internal school assessment instead.”
We at Indus are actually living the philosophy that NCF states or what the HRD minister is talking of now- ‘stress free education’.
“The term examination has come to be associated with stress and anxiety. The process of teaching and learning which is supposed to be meaningful for the student loses its joy because of these negative connotations of examination... The practice of declaring Compartment/ Fail shall be discontinued.”
At the same time, the launch of Career Development Cell at Indus will help in understanding the aptitude, interest in children and helping them in selection of subjects and careers.
“The larger context of education is to prepare futuristic citizens for a meaningful and productive life in a globalised society.”
It is very important that your child has a happy childhood and grows into a confident human being who knows herself/himself.
The following circulars, sent by CBSE to all the affiliated schools, will help in updating you about the changes that are being implemented.
CBSE Circular number 39
CBSE Circular number 40
