National Achievement Survey (NAS) conducted in Std III, V, VIII and X to assess Learning achievement of children in their respective classes will be held on November 12 across the country.
However, many teachers feel that this year, it will be hard to assess the true result of the children as lower primary schools in the state have yet to open and even the ones that are open, may not have 100% attendance as the schools will reopen after Diwali break on November 11.
Another group of teachers feels that such an examination is important as it will help in understanding the learning outcome of students which in turn will help plan the further action for the children, but they also feel that the must have planned better.
The National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) has developed the Assessment Framework for gauging the competencies attained by the students vis-a-vis learning outcomes. The Survey goes beyond the scorecard and includes the background variables to correlate students performance in different learning outcomes vis-a-vis contextual variables, the official NAS website says.
