Gujarat Schools to Revamp Student Assessment Process
Imagine you're in school in Gujarat!
Instead of just your teacher grading you, now your classmates and parents will also give their opinions.
This is because a special group of people wants to change how things are done.
They also want to get rid of a unit test system that took up a lot of time.
Instead of the old tests, there will be cards showing how you're doing in different areas, and teachers will get to decide when to give tests.
This is to make sure everyone understands how well you're learning!
Expert panel recommends changes to student assessment in Gujarat government schools.
The new system involves students, parents, and classmates in the evaluation process.
The panel suggested removing the 'ekum kasauti' unit test system.
