CBSE to introduce CCE System from October
Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has planned to introduce grading system and the board has now 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. For that, teachers training programme has been started in different parts of the state.
According to information, there would be two sections- academics, and co-scholastic section, under which a student would be graded on life skills, including thinking, social and emotional skills, attitudes and values.
Under attitudes and values, a student’s behaviour with his or her teachers, schoolmates, school programmes, the environment and his or her values will be assessed and graded.
Thinking skills entail a student’s capability in creative and critical thinking, with social skills including his interpersonal communication, empathy and emotional skills to be gauged for assessing his ability to deal with stress and emotions.
School heads feel this is a praiseworthy step. Talking about it, Gurshaminder Singh, principal of Partap Public School, said, “We have started adopting the education pattern of foreign countries. And it would give a ray of hope to all students- if a student is not performing well in academics but is doing well when it comes to dealing with his classmates and teachers, he is well on his way to becoming a good human being. Red marks on the report would not be part of the education system. We would prepare students for future in a better way.”
