CBSE terminates its uniform evaluation policy for classes 6 to 8

CBSE evaluation policy: The policy of uniform assessment which the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had framed for classes 6 to 8 has now been withdrawn by the board following objection from the country’s top child rights body, National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR). The evaluation policy was in violation of the Right to Education Act (RTE), argued NCPCR.

After the



central government reintroduce board examination for class 10 from this year, the system of continuous and comprehensive evaluation for the same has also been done away.

“As per decision of the governing body of the board, the earlier circular regarding uniform system of assessment, examination and report card for classes 6 to 8 stands repealed,” according to an official notification by the CBSE.
