Extension of the Scheme at Primary Stage

Continuous and comprehensive evaluation is a useful proposition for improvement of student's achievement through continuous diagnosis, remediation, encouragement and appreciation. It requires coordinated and concerted efforts on the part of principal, teachers and parents for the multi faceted personality development of the child. In this connection the board decided to extend this scheme at primary level and advised the school to desist from the pass-fail system based on terminal examination.
