CBSE Grading System : How does it help

The primary function of Grading is to communicate effectively to a variety of stakeholders the degree of achievement of an individual student.

The grading of students would also take away the frightening judgmental quality of marks obtained in a test leading to a stress free and joyful learning environment in the school.

This will also enable maintaining a meaningful continuity in the assessment pattern from the primary level to the secondary level and also in ensuring a basic uniformity in the schools.

The system being implemented now will have the  following advantages:

It will minimize misclassification of students on the basis of  marks.
It will eliminate unhealthy cut-throat competition  among high achievers.

It will reduce societal pressure and will provide the learner with more flexibility.

It will lead to a focus on a better learning environment.
