It will improve the quality of assessment.<\/p>\n<p>The grading system is a more holistic way of assessing student performance than the marks system. It takes into account a variety of factors, such as effort, participation, and critical thinking skills, in addition to just test scores. This allows teachers to get a more accurate picture of each student&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses, and to provide more tailored feedback and support.<\/p>\n<p>The marks system, on the other hand, is a more summative way of assessing student performance.

This can lead to students being unfairly rewarded or punished, and it can also discourage students from taking risks and trying new things.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the grading system is a more effective way of assessing student performance than the marks system. It is more holistic, more accurate, and more fair.<\/p>\n<p>Here is a brief explanation of each option:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A: It will improve the quality of assessment. The grading system is a more holistic way of assessing student performance than the marks system. It takes into account a variety of factors, such as effort, participation, and critical thinking skills, in addition to just test scores. This allows teachers to get a more accurate picture of each student&#8217;s strengths and weaknesses, and to provide more tailored feedback and support.<\/li>\n<li>Option B: It will improve teacher student relationship. There is no evidence to suggest that the grading system will improve teacher-student relationships. In fact, some studies have shown that the grading system can actually lead to a decrease in teacher-student trust and communication.<\/li>\n<li>Option C: It will eliminate the differentiation between students on marks basis. The grading system does not eliminate the differentiation between students on marks basis. In fact, it can actually exacerbate the problem by creating a system in which students are constantly compared to each other. This can lead to a lot of stress and anxiety for students, and it can also discourage them from taking risks and trying new things.<\/li>\n<li>Option D: Grading system is easier than marks system. The grading system is not necessarily easier than the marks system. In fact, it can be more complex and difficult to understand.
