UP Schools: Holistic Progress Card Replaces Marks
7 Nov
Summary
- UP to launch 360-degree Holistic Progress Card for Classes 9 and 10.
- Assessment focuses on overall development, not just exam scores.
- Card includes personal, health, and academic performance details.
Beginning with the 2026-27 academic session, Uttar Pradesh will implement a 360-degree Holistic Progress Card for students in Classes 9 and 10. This initiative, aligned with the National Education Policy 2020, aims to assess students' comprehensive development instead of solely relying on examination scores. The new framework will be mandatory in all government secondary schools across the state.
The progress card comprises three main sections: general information, holistic development, and academic performance. The initial section will document students' personal and family details, alongside physical development indicators such as height, weight, BMI, and basic health screenings. These health parameters will be monitored twice annually.
The core of the new system is the holistic development section, which incorporates self-assessment, peer assessment, and teacher evaluations. Students will reflect on their strengths, interests, and career aspirations. Peer assessments will focus on teamwork and respect, while teachers will evaluate participation in extracurricular activities, hygiene, environmental awareness, and critical thinking skills.
