Education (RTE) Act, 2009 provides for Comprehensive and
Continuous Evaluation(CCE) of child’s understanding of
knowledge and his or her ability to apply the same. The
Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA) Framework for Implementation,
which has been revised in context of the RTE Act, inter alia
provides that assessment should be treated as integral part
of learning, through observations of children and
maintaining records of their work done in a portfolio. The
Model Rules under the RTE Act provides for preparation of
Cumulative Pupil Record to document the child’s holistic
development as a methodology for continuous and
comprehensive evaluation.
