Delhi government has introduced new assessment guidelines for government, government aided, recognised unaided schools. According to the new assessment guidelines, students will not be evaluated on the basis of curricular knowledge, but rather on their ability to apply their understanding in a variety of real-life situations.
The new assessment standards will also motivate students to contribute to society's advancement. Further, no weightage of marks obtained will be calculated for the promotion of a student to the next higher class.
As per the new assessment guidelines, students of Classes 3-8 will be assessed for Happiness and Deshbhakti curricula, while students of Class 9 and Class 11 will be assessed for Deshbhakti and Entrepreneurship Mindset Curricula.
It is to be noted here that students of Class 11 will have an additional criterion for assessment, which is their participation in Business Blasters.
Further, detailing about the procedure of assessment, Delhi Education Minister Manish Sisodia added that question papers will be set in a manner where students will have to answer questions based on application of concepts of these curriculum in real-life/unfamiliar situations.
Along with that, they will also have unique project works based on the curriculum.
This new process of assessment will further strengthen the critical thinking and analytical abilities of the students.
