BENGALURU: In the wake of the Central Government cancelling the Central Board of School Education Class 10 examinations, experts have called for uniformity in assessment of students across different boards.According to them, it is crucial that all boards come up with a similar decision as cancelling the exams and assessing students based on Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) will anyways be uniform.
Speaking to TNIE, educationist Niranjan Aradhya felt that there was no harm in cancelling the examinations, considering the pandemic. “Like CBSE, all other boards also now have the CCE method of evaluation, and that’s the best way to assess a student. It is also part of the recently framed National Education Policy,” he said.
