About CBSE
The Central Board of Secondary Education is a national level board of education in India for public and private schools, controlled and managed by the Government of India.
Notice
CBSE vide Circular No. Aff.08/2023 dated 17.03.2023, has adopted the National Curricular Framework Foundational Stage (NCF-FS), 2022 in all schools affiliated with the Board. NCFFS 2022 states, “the HPC is an individualized and comprehensive reporting of a child’s progress based on evidence gathered through classroom activities over a period of time. It is important to capture parents’ assessments and understanding of the child’s learning in the HPC as well.” (NCFFS 2022, Para 6.4.3)
NCERT/PARAKH has shared the prototype of HPC for Foundational Stage. Accordingly, the Board has developed two prototypes for HPC at the Foundational Stage – Holistic Progress Card Foundational Stage (Age group 3-6 years), and Holistic Progress Card Grades 1 and 2 that will help to document the child’s progress in a regular and formative manner with a focus on age-appropriate competencies.
The card also gives space for inputs on various aspects from the child, his/her peer as well as the parents, giving scope for a 360-degree assessment. The schools affiliated to the Board may adopt / adapt the HPC Prototypes for their institution.
Further, the Board has developed an Implementation Guide to equip teachers with the technical knowledge and practical strategies for undertaking assessment and documenting the same through Holistic Progress Cards. All these documents are available for schools at the CBSE website cbseacademic.nic.in/manual.html Teachers are expected to read these documents for greater understanding of the nuances of assessments.
A webinar series will be organised for the better understanding of HPC. The schedule of the webinar series will be shared shortly.
