- Scholastic evaluation will be
for Class 1-9. As the academic year has started in April and Gunotsav, 2022 is
also scheduled in May/June, question papers will be administered to students of
next higher class. Though Class 1-9 levels will be assessed, students from
Class 2-10 will be covered. Hence, students of Class 2 will get question paper
of Class 1 and so on for the rest of the classes.
- Evaluation will be OMR based.
From Class 3 onwards, students will fill up the OMR sheet themselves. For Class
1 and 2, class wise OMR sheets will be there for marking/transferring of
responses. From Class 3 onwards, OMR sheet will be for individual child.
- There will be both self-evaluation and external evaluation.
Evaluation will be for two days for each school. Self-evaluation
(Reading skill and School Evaluation) will be conducted by schools in
presence of SMC/SMDC on the 1st day of Gunotsav.
- On the day of external evaluation, evaluation will be done for
all the students on three skills (Reading, Writing & Numeracy/ Basic
Mathematical Operations) and subject areas.
- The external evaluator will randomly select 20% students for
each of the three skills (Reading, Writing & Numeracy) and will assess
their performance. He/she will closely monitor the overall evaluation
process.
- The external evaluator will assess the areas of school
evaluation (Co-scholastic, Community Participation and Infrastructure) and
will fill up the OMR sheet by himself/herself.
- Individual question papers will
be provided to each student. Both skill and subject parts will be in the same
question paper.
- On the day of external evaluation, the teachers will be
interchanged within the cluster. The time schedule of schools of Tea
Garden areas will be same as other schools.
This massive exercise
will generate awareness amongst teachers, students, parents, community and
other stakeholders on importance of quality education and positive feeling
towards Govt. school system. Department of Education and Samagra Shiksha, Assam
appeals all to support Gunotsav, 2022 and make this event a grand success.
