The document discusses comprehensive and continuous assessment in schools. It outlines that assessment should go beyond just evaluating academic skills and include assessing other areas like life skills, attitudes, values, and co-curricular activities. The CBSE recommends using both formative and summative assessments across scholastic and co-scholastic domains with grades assigned on a scale. Effective assessment requires teachers to plan lessons, give regular feedback, monitor student growth, and maintain detailed records while involving parents.
