The Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) that was implemented by the State government last year till class VIII in all the government schools, will now be implemented even to high schools from Class IX from this academic year.
To pursue this effort, a two-day orientation programme was organised by the District Institute of Educational Training (DIET), Kumulur, in association with the State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) for the teachers here on Wednesday.
