CBSE New Programme for CLASS IX

Central Board of Secondary education has adopted a new technique of evaluation for class IX.
The name of the programme is Continous and Comprehensive Evaluation.

Dear Parents,

School is an institution which must grow, change and progress in the light of latest developments & changes in the education system.

With reference to the information given earlier through circular No. MAPS/63 dt. 20/11/2009 regarding CCE evaluation. Class IX details are submitted herewith.

Assessment should be both Formative and Summative Assessment.

Formative assessment is thus carried out during a course of instruction for providing continuous feedback to both the teachers and the learners for taking decisions regarding appropriate modifications in the transactional procedures and learning activities.

Summative assessment is carried out at the end of a course of learning. It measures or 'sums-up' how much a student has learned from the course. It is usually a graded test, i.e., it is marked according to a scale or set of grades.
