Written exams should be removed in educational institutions until class 2, according to the National Curriculum Framework (NCF). Explicit tests and exams are deemed unacceptable instruments for evaluating youngsters in the guideline.
The proposal stated that the written exams would place an unneeded strain on the kids during their formative years.
“Assessment should allow for diversity among children and in their learning. Children learn differently and express their learning differently too. The teacher should have the ability to design different kinds of assessment for the same learning outcome and use each assessment appropriately”.
“Children’s progress should be described and analysed through systematic collection of evidence. Assessment should not contribute to any additional burden for the child,” it adds.
NCF on classes 3-5, 6-8 and 9-12
According to the draft’s description of the evaluation for the preparation stage (classes 3 to 5), “written tests should be implemented at this time.”
According to a draught created by a committee led by former ISRO director K. Kasturirangan, the curriculum’s emphasis should shift to conceptual understanding and higher order skills between classes 6 and 8.
The panel has stated that thorough classroom assessments should be effectively used in the secondary stage (classes 9 to 12) to facilitate meaningful learning and constructive feedback. Summative evaluations should be undertaken on a regular basis to track student learning against competencies.
