The Gujarat state education department announced that a new assessment framework will be implemented in 864 schools across Rajkot. The move is part of a broader effort to modernise student evaluation and align with contemporary educational standards.
Under the new system, teachers will use a combination of formative and summative assessments to gauge student learning. The approach is designed to provide a more comprehensive view of a student’s progress, moving beyond single exam scores.
Officials say the transition will be supported by training sessions for educators, ensuring they are familiar with the new tools and methodologies. The rollout is expected to begin in the upcoming academic term.
Parents and students have expressed mixed reactions, with some welcoming the change and others concerned about the implementation timeline. The education department has pledged to monitor the process closely and make adjustments as needed.
