Director SCERT said the particular pattern of holding the examination will ensure proper assessment of students thereby preventing the negative effects of mass promotion.

“The concerned schools shall follow the same pattern and assess the students accordingly. By conducting pen and paper assessment for these classes will not only help you check the learning levels of students during the lockdown but will also prevent the negative effects of mass promotion,” she said.

Pandita also directed the directorates of schools education to ensure the proper adherence of the covid-19 SOPs while conducting examinations.

“The evaluation shall be done at the complex head level and compilation of results at DIET level in order to keep proper records of students,” she said.

Director SCERT also directed the directorates of schools education to focus on the assessment of children’s learning and development during the lockdown period.

“The assessment should be also based to what extent learning outcomes have been achieved identifying the learning gaps,” she said.

Pandita also directed the DIETs to issue the achievement cards for the 8th class on a grade basis.

“The Principal DIET shall meet out the expenditure on the result compilation and preparation of achievement cards of the students out of the  available MSE Funds on  this account as per the prescribed norms in practice. However, in respect of  the private school students, actual expenses to be incurred  on the preparation  of the same shall be worked out  and charged from the private schools,” she said.
