## Evaluation & Assessment under NEP 2020
- High school pedagogy reimagined for the 21st century.
- Focus on holistic development and competency-based learning.

## The 5+3+3+4 Curricular Structure
- Foundational Stage: Ages 3-8 (Grades Pre-K to 2)
- Preparatory Stage: Ages 8-11 (Grades 3 to 5)
- Middle Stage: Ages 11-14 (Grades 6 to 8)
- Secondary Stage: Ages 14-18 (Grades 9 to 12)

## Shifting Assessment Paradigms
- Move from rote memorization to conceptual understanding.
- Formative Assessment: Ongoing feedback, quizzes, and portfolios.
- Summative Assessment: Redesigned board exams testing higher-order thinking.

## PARAKH: National Assessment Centre
- Sets standards and norms for all school boards.
- Focuses on board equivalence and national achievement surveys (conducted across 75,000+ schools).

## Reformed Board Examinations (Grades 10 & 12)
- Reduced pressure: Two attempts allowed per year.
- Focus on reasoning and application-based questions.
- Internal evaluation weightage for projects and co-curriculars.

## Holistic Progress Card (HPC)
- A 360-degree multidimensional report.
- Includes self-assessment, peer feedback, and teacher observations across cognitive, social, and emotional domains.

## Implementation Challenges & Recommendations
- Challenges: Teacher capacity, exam pressure from coaching culture, and rural-urban inequality.
- Recommendations: Mandatory training in formative assessment and immediate school-level shift toward project-based evaluation.
