All Regional joint directors of school education and District
educational ofcers in the state are aware that the Supporting Andhra’s
Learning Transformation Programme (SALT) is being implemented to
strengthen school education in all aspects. In the part of the SALT project
where the government of Andhra Pradesh has an MoU with the agency
named Educational Initiatives to support in the Assessment area. As part
of the MoU, one round of SLAS was conducted across the state.

To identify the learning gaps in students, EI has proposed to conduct
three Classroom Based Assessments (CBA) in the present academic year
for classes 1 to 8 across the state in the subjects of First Language Telugu,
Second Language Hindi, Third Language English, Environmental Science,
Mathematics, General Science (which consists of a single paper for
physical science and biological science), and Social Studies (with bilingual
question papers). Hence, it is proposed to conduct the frst CBA instead of
formative assessment 1, the second CBA instead of formative assessment 3, and the third CBA instead of summative assessment 2.

 The main objectives of classroom-based assessments are 

1. To identify the learning gaps among the students to determine the
key concepts that needs to be focused on. 

2. To inform teachers on the learning needs of the students with
relevant materials like misconception posters

The suggested CBA will be carried out using OMR in order to analyse
the students’ responses for government management schools. For private
management schools, OMR will not be supplied. According to the
principles of evaluation of the question papers released soon after the
completion of the assessment, evaluation and analysis may be taken up.
The remaining languages of minor media for classes 1 to 8 will continue
the former format for written tests, as well as all subjects for classes 9 and
10.

As per reference 4 cited above, the state government has introduced a
6-paper system in SSC exams from the academic year 2022–23. Hence, it
is decided to follow the same pattern in internal assessments. So the
separate question papers for Physical Science and Biological Science will
be replaced with a single question paper, i.e., General Science, which has
both Physical Science and Biological Science questions.

SCERT AP will coordinate with EI in terms of developing question
papers for CBA, and alone will develop other subjects and class question
papers for formative assessment. The printing and distribution of all
question papers and OMRs should be done at district level with approved
DCEB printers. The instructions regarding the scanning of flled OMRs will
be issued separately.

The same question papers for all classes should be administered for
both government and private management schools. Regarding the
expenditure towards the printing and supply of question papers toGovernment management Schools, DCEBs will be paid from the Samagra
Shiksha, and for private schools, DCEBs may follow the present practice.

Hence, all the district educational ofcers are requested to instruct
the teachers and head masters to follow the CCE pattern for other tools
and conduct the slip test with question papers supplied by DCEBs for CBA
and formative assessment 1 duly following, and for the written test with
utmost precautions and guidelines issued by this ofce wide reference 3,
cited above. 

The State Project Director, Samagra Shiksha, AP is requested to
meet the said expenditure from the available funds and release the funds
for expenditure on printing and supply to the District common examination
boards (DCEBs) accounts concerned.
IT cell of this ofce is requested to furnish the child info data for
printing of variable data OMRs to the Director SCERT AP.
The schedule, blueprint and approved budget for printing and
logistics are annexed here with.
This has got approval of the Commissioner of School Education
