Towards A Holistic Assessment : Exploring The Possibilities And Challenges Of NEP-2020's Proposed Techniques

This article aims to analyze the comprehensive development of children by introducing innovative assessment techniques. Regular classroom assessments, self-assessments, and summative assessments are promoted by the NEP-2020 as essential instruments for gauging student progress. Additionally, the policy supports the use of online tests and e-learning, especially in secondary and postsecondary education. The suggested assessment methods include quizzes, role plays, project-based assessment, peer assessment, and self-assessment. In order to accurately assess student performance, the NEP-2020 also recommends the development of State and Central Level Evaluations, including board exams and achievement surveys. The policy also places a strong emphasis on creating special education zones to serve the needs of underprivileged kids and planning Olympiads for talented pupils. This article carefully explores the responsibilities played by significant stakeholders including NCERT, SCERT, and the Board of Assessment while offering helpful recommendations to address the unique needs of pupils who are struggling academically. The research approach used in this study incorporates a thorough analysis of qualitative data drawn from policy documents, research journals, and news articles, giving the findings a solid basis.
