ORDER:
Government have
issued orders to conduct Common Summative Assessment for the students of
classes VI to X in all schools in the State of Andhra Pradesh irrespective of
managements vide G.O. 2nd read above and subsequently modified vide
G.O. 4th read above.
2. In
the reference 5th read above, the Commissioner of School Education,
A.P. Amaravati has stated that a State Level Workshop was organized on
29.05.2017 at Vijayawada on the implementation of the Continuation and
Comprehensive Evaluation pattern and other examination reforms and the related
G.Os issued by the Government from time to time. In all about 170 participated
in the workshop, including Hon’ble Teacher M.L.Cs, representatives of Teachers
Unions, Professors of NCERT, representatives of other State S.C.E.R.Ts (i.e.,
Kerala, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu), Director, RMSA, SPD SSA, RJDSEs, DEOs,
Principals of DIETs, Principals of CTEs & IASEs, Dy.E.Os, MEOs, HMs,
Teachers, Managements of Private Schools, Citizens and NGOs. The Workshop highlighted many issues and
challenges being faced in implementing CCE pattern of evaluation and recent
G.Os issued for the betterment of Assessment and Evaluation. Three of the key
recommendations of the Workshop were to conduct only 2 Summative Assessments
(as being done in Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala) instead of three (3),
removing weightage for internal marks of classes VIII and IX in class X; and
external evaluation of Summative Assessments. To implement these three
recommendations of the Workshop, the Commissioner of School Education, A.P.
Amaravati has proposed certain amendments/additions to the related G.Os issued
during the 2013, 2015 and 2016 and requested to bring out these amendments into
effect from the current academic year i.e. 2017-18. Hence, she has requested to conduct 2 Summative
Assessments instead of 3 Summative Assessments.
3. In the
circumstances reported by the Commissioner of School Education, A.P. Amaravati
and keeping in view of the recommendations of the workshop held on 29.05.2017,
after careful examination of the matter, Government have decided to conduct two
Summative Assessments instead of three Summative Assessments for classes VI to
X and accordingly hereby order that wherever the term three (3) Summative
Assessments are occurred in the G.Os 2nd and 4th read
above, shall be read as two Summative Assessments. And, Government also hereby
issue amendment to para 4 B (2) (iv) and (v) of the G.Os 2nd
