• The National Council for Educational and Research Training (NCERT) has introduced a new ‘Holistic Progress Card’ (HPC) to assess students’ academic performance.
• Departing from traditional marks or grades, the HPC employs a 360-degree evaluation system, considering various aspects of a student’s development and learning experience.
• It encompasses academic performance, cognitive abilities, socio-emotional skills, and creativity, incorporating feedback from parents, classmates, and self-evaluation by students.
The HPCs have been devised by PARAKH, a standard-setting body under the NCERT, for the foundational stage (Classes 1 and 2), preparatory stage (Classes 3 to 5) and middle stage (Classes 6 to 8), as per suggestions by the NEP, 2020.
