Dear Parents,

THE KINDERGARTEN STARTERS- DUBAI CIRCULAR

Revised Assessment Policy 06/06/2017

As per the new directive from the CBSE, all schools need to follow a uniform pattern of assessment. The CBSE has issued a circular to implement the uniform system of assessment, examination pattern and issue of report cards. While keeping in view the guidelines, the scheme of assessment has been designed on Term Assessment basis with gradual increase in the learning as the students move forward. This would prepare the students to cover the whole syllabus of the academic year and face the challenge in the senior classes, and would thus, ensure the 'quality of education'.

The detail components of the scheme are mentioned below for easy understanding and implementation:
