Learning levels of students improved: HRD ministry
NEW DELHI, Nov 19, 2016, DHNS
A national survey has “revealed” improvement in learning levels of the students of classes III to VIII since 2001, the Centre told the Rajya Sabha.
Several rounds of the survey were conducted by the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
“Four rounds of National Achievement Survey (NAS) have been conducted so far for Class V and three rounds for classes III and VIII. These reveal improvement in learning achievement levels of pupils, in identified subjects from first round to fourth round,” Human Resource Development (HRD) Minister Prakash Javadekar stated in reply to a written question in the Upper House tabled on Thursday.
The minister was replying to a question of Samajwadi Party member Kiranmoy Nanda.
This comes days after the HRD ministry assured the governments of the states and the union territories of giving them freedom to introduce annual examinations for students of classes V and VIII. The Central Advisory Board of Education (CABE) last month gave its nod to the tweaking of the ‘no detention policy’ under the RTE Act as majority of the states at the meeting demanded for it, claiming that learning outcomes of the elementary schoolchildren was dwindling each year due to the implementation of the policy.
