TheNational Council for Educational and Research Training (NCERT) has introduced a new “holistic” report card that incorporates feedback from parents, classmates, and even self-evaluation by students to track their overall progress regularly.
About Holistic Progress Card (HPC)
PARAKH, a standard-setting body under the NCERT, has devised the Holistic Progress Card (HPC) for foundational stage (Classes 1 and 2), preparatory stage (Classes 3 to 5) and middle stage (Classes 6 to 8) and is currently working on developing one for the secondary stage.
The HPC is aligned with therecommendations of the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCFSE).
This attempt aims to move away from traditional evaluation methods that rely on marks and grades awarded by school teachers
