For perhaps the first time ever in the country, question papers of the annual Class 10 and 12 examinations in the public education sector in the State will be reviewed by students.
Hitherto, examinations conducted as part of student evaluation were assessed by teachers and education experts. In a major departure, the State Council of Educational Research and Technology (SCERT) is giving students, who are the actual stakeholders in the assessment process, a role in the review.
In the first part of the review, students will assess what questions were asked, if the question paper was easy or not, if they were able to complete it in time, and so on. In the second part, they will be asked specific questions related to the subject. The review will be conducted in select schools in the districts by the District Institutes of Education and Training (DIET) immediately after students sit for the examinations.
