Introduction
In recent times, the landscape of education has been evolving, and the CBSE curriculum is no exception. in this blog, let’s uncover what’s in store for CBSE students.
Assessment Reimagined
The cornerstone of these changes lies in the shift towards Competency-Based Education (CBE). This means that assessments are not just about regurgitating information; they are about applying knowledge in practical scenarios. Imagine exams that inspire critical thinking, where students analyze, evaluate, and creatively solve problems.
What to Expect
For the upcoming academic session of 2024-25, expect exams to focus more on critical thinking. Students will encounter questions that push them to think beyond memorization, encouraging them to understand concepts deeply and apply them practically. This move bids farewell to rote learning, ushering in an era of holistic learning experiences.
What Changes in the Assessment Structure?
Classes 9 and 10 see no difference in the assessment structure in this revision. However, the weightage on Competency Focused Questions has increased from 40% in A.Y. 2023-24 to 50% in A.Y. 2024-25, and the weightage on Constructed Response Questions has decreased from 40% in A.Y. 2023-24 to 30% in A.Y. 2024-25. This shift gives students space to form their opinions and develop skills relevant for real-life scenarios.
The Journey Towards Competency-Based Learning
The CBSE Board has been steadily aligning assessment methods with the National Education Policy (NEP) vision. Circulars issued in recent years highlight the importance of Competency-Based Questions, reflecting a broader educational approach aimed at nurturing overall student growth.
Embracing Change
This shift signifies a positive stride in education. Students will not only excel in academics but also develop essential skills for the future. As we embark on this journey, stay tuned to the official CBSE website for the latest updates on assessment practices for the 2024-25 session.
