Edu Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal launches the CBSE Assessment Framework

Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal launched the CBSE Assessment Framework for science, maths and English classes along on Wednesday as part of the British Council-CBSE Competency Based Education Project.

This is a suggested competency-based assessment framework to strengthen India’s existing school education system for secondary level (classes 6-10) and improve the overall learning outcomes of students across India.

The framework is a part of the CBSE Competency Based Education Project that aims to replace the existing rote learning model with a



competency-based framework as directed in the NEP 2020 over the next 2-3 years.

The framework is the basis for a larger project exercise currently underway where 40 assessment designers, 180 test item writers and 360 master trainer mentors are being trained in using this framework to create model question bank and collection of ideal lesson plans.

In the first phase, selected Kendriya Vidyalayas, Navodaya Vidyalayas, UT Chandigarh and private schools across the country will participate in the programme which will be rolled out to all 25,000 CBSE schools in India by 2024.
