CBSE CCE good or Bad, Hate it or Like it, Kya ?
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had introduced grading system and the board has started continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) system from October, under which students would not only be graded in five subjects but they would also be assessed keeping their holistic development in mind.
CCE, or Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation as the new system is called, is a pet hate word ofmany students in Class IX and Class X. These Students hate CCE for the “shackles” it has put around him – daily studies, endless projects, surprise tests and, what is worse , they can’t talk and joke loudly with friends any more.
Then there are the bright children who are unhappy with the grading system. “Now there is no difference between a student who gets 100 and 91, both get an A1. What’s the use of killing ourselves studying to become top scorers?” feels a Class 9 student of a public school who has always been topping her class till now.
