CBSE: Send experienced hands for evaluation or lose affiliation
NEWDELHI: To ensure quality and error-free evaluation, the Central Board of Secondary Education ( CBSE) has asked all affiliated schools to send regular and experienced teachers for the same.
According to a circular issued by the board, the affiliation of the school will be cancelled if it fails to adhere to the directions. The board also said it would conduct class 10 and 12 examinations in March 2018.
“Smooth and efficient conduct of class 10 and 12 examinations along with declaration of result in time and with accuracy has always been the foremost endeavour of the Board. To ensure quality and error-free evaluation of the answer booklets, the board requires a large number of experienced and trained teachers to complete the whole process in a time-bound manner,” CBSE said in the circular issued to more than 18,000 affiliated schools.
“Non-compliance of the directions will be seen as a misconduct in connection with examinations and the board will be compelled to take strong action, including penalty and/or further action of disaffiliation”.
The board pointed out that it has always relied on the schools to depute experienced teachers for evaluation work. “However, it has been observed in the past that the schools are not cooperating with the Board in nominating/deputing and relieving their regular and experienced teachers for the evaluation process. The directions of the board in this regard are not being followed by the school in letter and spirit”.
Schools have been informed that they have to ensure that all teachers from classes 9 and 12 have to register themselves on the examination portal. Schools have been asked to relieve all the teachers identified by the CBSE for evaluation. “Ensure that all teachers identified as evaluators of answer script are given no other teaching or school related work during the evaluation days, thereby raising quality of evaluation”.
CBSE has also asked schools to ensure teachers undergo requisite training for pre-evaluation as mandated by the board.
This year, the board set up two committees to look into the problems related to the evaluation process after receiving complaints from students and parents.
