The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 represents the most significant overhaul of India's education system in over three decades. For school administrators, this means adapting assessment methods, restructuring curricula, and rethinking how student progress is tracked and reported.
What NEP 2020 Means for Schools
NEP 2020 shifts from rote memorization to competency-based learning. The policy emphasizes holistic development across cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains. Schools must now track student progress not just through exams, but through continuous assessment, project work, and co-curricular activities.
Key Changes in Assessment
1. Holistic Progress Cards The traditional marks-based report card is being replaced by holistic progress cards that capture a 360-degree view of the student. This includes academic performance, participation in arts and sports, social-emotional learning, and life skills.
2. Competency-Based Evaluation Instead of testing rote memorization, assessments now focus on whether students can apply concepts. Schools need systems that can track competency levels across multiple dimensions.
3. Formative + Summative Assessment NEP mandates a blend of formative (continuous) and summative (periodic) assessment. Schools need to track both and weight them appropriately for final grades.
