CBSE to soon launch holistic progress card on pilot basis for students

A comprehensive progress report of students studying under the Central Board of Secondary Education, which will be based on Artificial Intelligence, will soon be tested in a pilot project in 74 schools, officials aware of the development said. Dubbed the Holistic Progress Card, the initiative is envisaged under the National Education Policy 2020 for a "multidimensional progress monitoring" of school students. Once it is successfully tested, the initiative will be eventually rolled out to include all student from classes 1 to 12, an education ministry official said, requesting anonymity. The decision on the pilot project was taken during the CBSE's general body meeting in August. The board has developed a prototype for classes 1-3, which will "track the key developmental goals and competencies, as specified by the National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN) Bharat guidelines", according to the minutes of the CBSE meeting.
