AHMEDABAD: The state education department has decided to stop the system of centralized unit tests in government-run and grant-in-aid secondary and higher secondary schools.
The schools will now be allowed to conduct unit tests on their own. However, the department has allowed the private schools to choose between a centralized unit test system and conducting tests on their own. On Friday, the department had taken the similar decision for grant-in-aid and government-run primary schools.
Under the new system, schools will be provided a question bank using which they can draft unit test question papers and conduct tests on their own. Sources said that the education department has instructed the district primary education officers to convey this decision to schools.
Sources said that the decision was taken during a meeting held on Friday presided over by the state education minister Jitu Vaghani. Sources said that the decision has been taken keeping in mind the learning-oriented education suggested in the new education policy.
In the new system, the schools will draft 25 marks question papers selecting questions provided in the question bank. The first unit test for Class 9 to 12 students will be held in two one-hour sessions on July 27.
