SCERT to prepare guidelines
After years of ambivalence, at last, the state government has decided to go for Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) for assessing academic levels of the students from primary education level. CCE has been followed by the CBSE for several years and the methodology has been found to be very effective, going by the performance indicators of the students each year.
The State Council of Education Research and Training (SCERT), which is the State Academic Authority, has been authorised to develop guidelines and the Rajiv Vidya Mission (RVM) has been asked to issue these guidelines. The RVM, Director of School Education and the SCERT have been made asked to monitor the implementation of the CCE.
The CCE has been prescribed by the RTE Act itself.

This is applicable to all state government, local bodies, aided, unaided and private recognised schools”

The CCE helps the teacher to know the phase of development of competencies on one hand and personality traits on the other hand while assessing the child’s academic achievement levels. Evaluation is a powerful means of improving the quality of education. The CCE is
