AHMEDABAD: An association of primary teachers has written to the Gujarat Council of Educational Research and Training (GCERT) asking it to put an end to weekly unit tests in primary school and to also stop considering students’ scores in Gunotsav, the annual evaluation of schools.
In the letter, the teachers argued that while the state government has stop considering unit test scores in Gunotsav for high schools but continues to do so for primary schools. The letter says if the authorities are unwilling to fully do away with unit tests, they should allow schools to conduct only two unit tests a year; one per term and to not consider students’ scores in Gunotsav.
