CCE - Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation:
Aligned with the National Education Policy, Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) aims to revolutionize assessment to optimize learning and development for all students. Key aspects include:
Semester System: The academic year is divided into two semesters, ensuring a balanced syllabus division. CCE incorporates two types of tests: formative and summative.
This approach supports the new 5+3+3+4 system, facilitating a smooth transition from preschool to higher classes.
Formative tests assess various skills such as work experience, innovation, teamwork, and public speaking, along with class performance, homework, projects, and participation in activities. This holistic assessment method provides a comprehensive view of students' abilities, replacing marks with grades and evaluating both curricular and extracurricular activities.
