The National Education Policy 2020 envisions optimizing abilities of the learner and move towards competency based learning from a traditional learning system.
The board said the CBE allows students to advance based on their ability to master a skill or competency at their own pace regardless of environment.
It focuses on assessing certain identified skills or competencies and is dependent on the ability of the students to master them.
It is aligned to the progress of the students through their curriculum and is more linked to their pace of learning.
The board said the CBE will ensure equity for all students, differentiated support based on the learning needs of the individual students, assessment of progress based on the mastering of certain identified skills and use of formative assessment in which they will be encouraged to reflect on their own work and identify areas of improvement.
The teachers will play an important role to identify and develop the abilities of the child, it added.
