VIJAYAWADA: The 100-day action plan of the government for SSC students is expected to yield better results in the public examinations this academic year.
The plan will be implemented in the following academic years as well to improve the performance of students in the public examinations.
The plan includes a structured day-wise schedule, question banks, model question papers, and pre-final and grand test. The plan’s objective is to boost students’ confidence, reduce exam-related anxiety, and improve overall academic outcome.
The State’s current assessment system has also been refined with four formative and two summative assessments conducted each year for students of class I to IX.
For younger students of class I and II, assessment will be activity-based rather than traditional written test, with teachers evaluating performance through observation and grading instead of numerical score.
For higher classes, greater emphasis will be laid on written expression under the formative assessment to better prepare students for the annual examinations.
AP Education Model: New Progress Cards to evaluate growth of students
Summative assessment will continue twice a year with 80% weightage to the final examination, and 20% to internal assessment.
Speaking to TNIE, Director of School Education Vijay Rama Raju V said, “Our 100-day action plan is designed to provide structured support to SSC students, helping them build confidence, and reduce exam-related stress. With a focus on assessment, digital learning, and parental engagement, we aim to create a well-rounded education system that nurtures both academic excellence and holistic development.”
Additionally, the government has laid emphasis on co-curricular assessment, which will evaluate students in areas such as values and life skills, arts and cultural education.
A special initiative will be conducted for class VI students to strengthen foundational learning, and ensure uniform standards before the regular syllabus begins. The class readiness programme will also be implemented from June to August 2025.
Recognising the importance of digital education, the government is also developing conceptual videos based on the taxonomy of each chapter. These videos, accompanied by multiple-choice questions, and remedial learning material, will be hosted on the DIKSHA platform to support alternative learning methods.
A new Holistic Progress Card will be introduced to comprehensively evaluate students’ academic, personal and extracurricular growth, helping to identify strengths and areas that require additional support.
To foster better parent-teacher collaboration, Mega Parent-Teacher Meetings will be held twice a year in June and December. These meetings will provide academic feedback, address curriculum reforms, and discuss student well-being, including physical and mental health, Director of AP State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) MV Krishna Reddy told TNIE.
