Will the introduction of grading system not be demotivating for those students who aspire to compete of AIEEE, IIT-JEE, AIPMT or other competitive examinations?
Answer by CBSE: Grading is being introduced at Class-X level and not at Class-XII level. Students aspiring for qualifying competitive examinations will have to prepare thoroughly right from lower classes and cannot afford to be casual at any stage. Question: I am a school psychologist. Is it fair to assess a child in areas like social skills and emotional skills for which there are hardly any inputs? Moreover, environmental factors play an important role in acquisition of these skills for which students cannot be held responsible. Answer by CBSE: As psychologist you will understand and appreciate that development of desired social skills and emotional skills are very important in one’s life. Once it has been made a part of assessment scheme, schools will certainly provide conducive environment and specific learning experiences to help the students acquire these skills. Schools are also being told about the same.
