The School-based Assessment card includes reporting of students\u2019 performance in scholastic as well as given co-scholastic areas in terms of grades. In order to provide sufficient scope and space for different abilities of different students, number of significant co-scholastic areas has been included in the assessment scheme. It is hoped that the schools have provided essential facilities as well as necessary learning experiences to help the students acquire these skills, attitudes, values and abilities before assessment.<\/p>\n
