CCE- A way towards All Round Development of Learners

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) is used for school based evaluation of pupils in which their assessment is done on a continuous basis throughout the year and which is also comprehensive in nature, in the sense that it is not confined to assessment in scholastic subjects but also covers co-scholastic areas such as performance in games/sports, physical education, creative education, art, music, dance, drama, personal and social qualities. CCE has led to a paradigm shift in teaching pedagogy to transform our young learners into critical thinkers. The implementation of a new practice in its real essence is a big challenge in a country like India which has more than 11,500 CBSE schools spread across all over Indian and 25 countries. This research paper is an attempt at highlight the understanding of CCE and its impact on teaching pedagogy and creative learning; the learning inferred from the study would further encourage other school boards to follow CCE pattern and overcome the challenges hampering its effective and successful implementation.
