Lucknow: Now, students up to class eight, in
schools run by the Basic Education Council, have a reason to
cheer as the government has decided to bring in a new system
so that they no longer fail in exams.
The UP government has decided to introduce continuous and
comprehensive evaluation based examination system, wherein
students up to class 8 will not be detained on the basis of
marks secured, a senior official said here.
An order to introduce new examination system has been
issued by additional state project director of Sarv Shiksha
Abhiyaam Ashok Ganguly.
There would be continuous assessment of a student`s
performance throughout the year, he said.
"Though the students will be required to appear in the
examination four times in an academic year, there will be no
system of pass or fail," he said.
Evaluation of a student will be done on the basis of two
unit tests, half-yearly and annual examinations of 100 marks.
"The examination pattern will include written and oral
tests," he said.
The model question paper of these examinations will be
prepared by State Council for Education Research and Training,
he added.
