Grade system to relieve stress on students
Come 2008 and all the schools across the country will assess Class X students on a grade system instead of marks.
It is noteworthy that no Cumulative Grading Point Average would be used for the final outcome of the division obtained.
Chairman of Council of Boards for Secondary Education (CoBSE) Ashok Ganguly said in an interview to The Times of India that all preparations are underway to implement the new system.
"Just a week ago we had a meeting where representatives of all the 41 state and Central secondary boards. They have given their nod for the smooth transition of the evaluation process," he said.
State Boards like Kerala Board, Haryana Board, Punjab Board etc. have given their formal consent for the procedure, he added. He, however, clarified that UP Board was not a part of the discussion and hence the transition may take some time.
Ganguly, who also happens to be the chairman of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), further said, "We have already notified all our member schools (those using CBSE curriculum) that in 2007 class IX marksheet should be based on the new grading system so that in 2008 matriculation certificates to the students can be released based on the new format.
We have around 8,000 member schools and they all will be using this new format." Giving further details on the how the grading system will finally work, Ganguly said, "We will be grading our students studying in Class I to V on a scale of five.
Similarly, those students who are studying in classes VI to VIII will be graded on a scale of seven. Students who would be attempting their class IX examination in the year 2007, will be graded on a scale of nine so that when these students appear for class X examination in 2008, they can be graded on a numeric scale of 10.
Although the entire transition may take some time to be implemented, we are very keen on introducing the concept for Class IX in 2007, he added.
