Evaluation of Scholastic aspect
Part art 1: Scholastic Areas
Evaluation of Academic Subjects

Six assessments are proposed:

Total Formative Assessments (FA) = FA1 + FA2  +  FA3 +  FA4 = 40%
Summative Assessments (SA)= SA1 +  SA2 = 60%

All across the schools, the most commonly used tools/techniques are those developed by teachers themselves. Among these are paper-pencil tests and tasks, written and oral tests, questions on pictures, simulated activities and discussion with students. Short class tests are used by most teachers as a quick and easy way of assessing the learning progress of children. As these are generally conducted at the end of a unit/month covering the specified content taught during that period, these are no doubt useful but they need to be used effectively.

(i) Teachers will arrive at the Formative Assessment using an acceptable method for combining scores.
(ii) They will be given opportunity to develop this practice during implementation.

Similarly, tests can be formal, informal, written or oral, based on specified content desired to be tested. They are diagnostic in nature as they enable the teacher to identify or reveal the strength and weaknesses of students. A test should not create any fear amongst students and it should be administered in an informal way.
Grading Scale Assessment of Scholastic attainments Part 1 will be reported twice in a year.
