to ensure the validity and reliability of evaluation system some short-term measures
were proposed it was proposed that at the school level board examinations will
continue to be held only at the levels of classes X and XII. Some states set up School
to decentralize the conduct of examinations.
Conduct of Examinations:
Legislation would define various malpractices connected with examinations in order
to treat them as cognizable and non bail able offences.
Such laws will also try to
prescribe punishments for various offences under the law, and to include within its
scope include persons engaged in various operations
connected with examinations
and provide protection to them. In addition to this innovations like printing and
distribution of question papers with questions arranged in different sequences will be
done to avoid copying and other unfair means in the examination halls.
Programme to integrate the process of evaluation with teaching and learning
At the school level the Boards of Education will lay down the levels of
attainment expected at classes V, VIII, X and XII. The Boards will also stipulate the
learning objectives in terms of knowledge and comprehension, communication skills,
application of knowledge, and the ability to learn. Schemes of evaluation to test those
aspects of learning which can be evaluated
through formal examinations, and those
which cannot be tested through such an examination, will be developed. Abilities and
proficiencies which can and should be evaluated through institutional evaluation will
be identified and procedures evolved for such evaluation.The development of
schemes of evaluation is a continuing process and to
attain this the Boards of
Education will consider setting up a Consortium for initiating research and
development in evaluation procedures and the conduct of examinations. This
Consortium will adopt selected schools as pilot centers and will hold examinations
and award certificates for the students of such schools.Before question papers are set,
a detailed design will be evolved indicating the weightage to be given to various
areas
of content, types of questions and the objectives of teaching/learning.
Evaluation of students' performance will move towards cumulative grading system.
In the big States, the possibility of establishing more than one Board of Education
will be considered, so that the number of students to be examined by one Board does
not exceed one Lakh and procedures will be developed
for the appointment of
Chairmen/Secretaries of Boards of Education and Controllers of Examinations to
inspire confidence among public.
