ACADEMIC SESSION 2016-2017

Examination Reforms and Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in the

CBSEThe Central Board of Secondary Education introduced Continuous and
Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) in Primary Classes in 2004 (Circular No. 5/18/25/04).
The achievement records and its formats was also circulated for Classes I to V with the
objective of facilitating holistic learning in the school. The focus was on identifying the
talents of the learner and empowering with positive inputs. The Board recommended a five
point rating scale, it also recommended the elimination of the pass/fail system at the
primary classes (Circular No. 31/04/21/05). The Board has also followed it up by extending
this scheme up to classes VI to VIII and developed a CCE card on School Based
Assessment
for
the
same Circular
No./2/06).
The scheme of Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) will be now further
strengthened in all affiliated schools from October 2009. The Class IX students will be
assessed

through

the

CCE

by

the

school

itself.

The AEES has also proposed to strengthen the Continuous and Comprehensive
Evaluation CCE) scheme from the academic session 2010-11 in all its schools and in
classes from I to X as suggested by CBSE (APC-2009-10). So long as further
instructions/changes are not received from CBSE the following pattern of examination will
be followed in Al Ain Juniors School In all the classes from Grades 1 to 10.Continuous and
Comprehensive Evaluation refers to a system of school based assessment that covers all
aspects of students development. The comprehensive component of CCE takes care of
assessment of all round development of the childs personality. It includes assessment in
scholastic and co-scholastic aspects in pupils growth. Students will be evaluated both
in scholastic and non-scholastic areas.
1. As per the new pattern, students will be assessed in two areas Scholastic and Co-scholastic.
For assessment of the scholastic areas, the academic year is divided in two terms
and two types of tests will be conducted to assess the academic subjects as given in

FormativeAssessment
The formative assessment is a tool for a teacher to continuously monitor the progress
of a student. The assessment (in secondary) may include quizzes, conversations, oral
testing, visual testing, projects, practical, assignments, class test, class-work, home
work etc. The teacher is free to take any number of formative tests in his/her subject
during the year but only four formative tests will be taken into account in each subject.
Performance
of
the
students
will
b
reflected
in
grades.
In primary classes the formative tests will be in the form of Dictation, oral test, class
test, home work, class work, assignments & projects (III to V), Memory test, Story
telling, Quiz (III to V), Elocution (III to V) or any other tool found suitable by the teacher.
The formative tests are purely informal, however, the teachers will inform the date and
time of test beforehand. These tests will be taken in the regular periods only.
Summative Assessment: The Summative assessment is the terminal assessment of
performance at the end of instruction. Under the end term Summative assessment, the
students will be tested internally. The Summative assessment will be in the form of a
pen-paper test conducted by the schools themselves. It will be conducted at the end of
each term twice in a year. The schedule for the same is given below.

marks and overall assessment will be given in grades in 9 point scale in secondary
