Delhi Schools Start NIPUN Assessment August 27

Delhi schools will begin the NIPUN Sankalp baseline assessment on August 27 to evaluate the foundational literacy and numeracy skills of students in classes 2 to 8.

The assessment will be conducted in three phases: August 27 for Hindi, August 29 for English, and August 31 for Mathematics.

The Delhi State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) issued the direction under the NIPUN Sankalp programme, which aims to strengthen foundational literacy and numeracy competencies among students.

The assessment will be conducted through OMR-based tests, with a strict 'one desk-one student' arrangement to ensure fairness and confidentiality. Schools have been instructed to register students on the NIPUN Sankalp online portal and verify all student records before the assessment.

For classes 2 and 3, teachers will fill the OMR sheets, including student details and responses. For classes 4 to 8, teachers will fill student details and Part B, while students will attempt and fill Part A.

Students who remain absent on the scheduled dates will be given an opportunity to appear for the assessment by September 5. Heads of schools are responsible for ensuring the timely conduct of the assessment and the safe submission of OMR sheets.

The NIPUN Sankalp programme is being implemented in schools under the MCD, NDMC, DCB, and Directorate of Education. The programme aims to improve the foundational skills of students and provide a baseline for future assessments.

The assessment is a crucial step in evaluating the effectiveness of the NIPUN Sankalp programme and identifying areas where students need improvement.

The results of the assessment will help teachers and educators to develop targeted interventions to support students who are struggling with foundational literacy and numeracy skills.

In conclusion, the NIPUN Sankalp baseline assessment is an important initiative to evaluate and improve the foundational skills of students in Delhi schools.

It is expected to have a positive impact on the education system in Delhi, and its outcomes will be closely monitored by educators and policymakers.
