Over 4,773 schools across Maharashtra are gearing up for a statewide assessment on December 4, organized by the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT). The assessment will cover students from Std III, VI, and IX, evaluating their performance in various subjects.
According to Rahul Rekhawar, director of SCERT Maharashtra, the assessment schedule is as follows: Std III and VI students will take the test between 11 am and 12:30 pm, focusing on language, mathematics, and environmental studies. Std IX students will take the test from 11 am to 1 pm, covering language, mathematics, science, and social science.
Rekhawar emphasized that the questions will be based on minimum competencies acquired by students in the previous class. For instance, Std III students will be assessed on the Std II syllabus, while Std VI students will be assessed on Std V content.
SCERT has instructed schools to suspend all other activities during the assessment period, with a 100% attendance rate mandatory for students in the selected schools. Officials from national and state levels will visit participating schools to monitor the process.
This assessment is part of a nationwide effort to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of education across districts. It is also part of PARAKH (Performance Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development), a national initiative designed by the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT).
