Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’ will launch the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) assessment framework for Science, Maths and English today at 5 PM. The assessment framework is part of the 'competency-based education project' of the CBSE and the British Council. “I will be launching the CBSE assessment framework for science, maths and English classes as part of CBSE competency-based education project by CBSE and British Council,” Mr Pokhriyal tweeted. The assessment framework is in line with National Education Policy (NEP 2020) and is based on the NCERT curriculum. It aims to improvise the standard of Science, Maths and English lessons taught in Classes 6 to 10. The focus will be on helping students gain conceptual clarity than limiting to rote-learning by developing skills and practical knowledge. This system will help the students in attempting pen and paper tests and it would work along with the regular textbook knowledge imparted in classrooms.
