Report of Study on Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation in Selected Boards of School Education 2004

Abstract

The need for introducing Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in schools in an effective and systematic manner has been felt for a long time. As the of examinations conducted by the Boards of School Education have some shortcomings, greater importance is now being given to CCE at school level. Quite a few Boards have developed schemes of CCE for implementation in schools. In some cases, where such scheme has not been developed, school Principals on their own have taken steps to introduce a system of periodic testing of students by the teachers. But such efforts have been sporadic and attention to only academic aspects has been given hardly any use and not to non-scholastic areas in evaluation of students. Also made of CCE for improving classroom teaching. Even where Boards or concerned Departments of Education have developed a scheme of CCE and prescribed the same for schools, quite often the scheme is not implemented with sincerity and in the night spirit as a result of which the very purpose does not get served.
