Why in the news?
The National Council for Educational and Research Training (NCERT) is introducing a new ‘holistic progress card’ (HPC).
About Holistic Progress Card (HPC):
Features:
○HPC, will no longer depend on marks or grades to evaluate a student’s academic performance. Instead, it will rely on a 360-degree evaluation.
○Under the HPC model, the students will be regularly assessed through class activities where they are not just passive learners but active agents.
○Teachers, thus, will be able to register the strengths of a student, such as their ability to “collaborate”, “follow instructions”, show “creativity” or “empathy”, etc.
○Similarly, weaknesses like “lack of attention”, “peer pressure”, “lack of preparation” will help teachers identify areas where students need help.
○A key feature of the HPC is that students will have a say too, evaluating their own as well as their classmates’ performance.
○At the middle stage (Classes 6 to 8), students are prompted to set academic and personal goals.
○An "ambition card" allows students to outline their aspirations, areas for improvement, and the necessary skills and habits to fulfill their ambitions.
○The HPC seeks to involve parents in the learning process, integrating their insights on homework, classroom engagement, and balancing screen time with extracurricular activities.
○Peer evaluation is also a key element, with students assessing their classmates' contributions to activities.
