Taking a step forward in its efforts to improve the quality of education in schools operating under it, the Delhi government on Tuesday wrote to several eminent educationists, urging them to give feedback on its assessment and examination system.
In a letter addressed to the education experts, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister and Education Minister Manish Sisodia said: “One area in which our Directorate of Education (DoE) is yet to introduce any reform is the assessment and examination system, which is extremely important as it affects the teaching-learning process in the classroom.”
Enclosing examination papers of Class IV-VIII with the letter, Sisodia asked the educationists to give their feedback on the ability of those papers for affective testing. “We want to promote a culture of innovation and creative thinking in our classrooms. Do you think our pattern of examination is appropriate for this goal? If not, what changes would you suggest?” Sisodia asked.
The letters were sent to the likes of Professor Krishan Kumar, Former Chairperson NCERT, and Abha Adam, Former Principal of a renowned school, among others.
