Delhi’s private schools in favour of online exams for upto class 8 students
Various private schools in Delhi plan to promote students up to class 8 or assess them on the basis of projects and assignments through the year in view of continuing closure of schools due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The Delhi government had on Wednesday issued guidelines to its schools for assessment of students up to class 8, ruling out offline examinations and instead, asking them to grade the students on the basis of projects and assignments.
The government, however, has left the decision to private schools to prepare their own schedule and decide on the assessment modalities themselves.
“Giving students up to class 8 this benefit of their regularity in attendance that they had during the lockdown period where the teaching mode was online is definitely very beneficial and encouraging for students,” said Priyanka Barara, Principal, MRG School, Rohini. “It will also remove any kind of fear towards assessment because assessment is truly required for each and every student. We also believe that assessment cannot just be done only by testing,” she said.
