Surat: Starting with a new academic session in June 2025, over 40,000 government primary and secondary schools in Gujarat will no longer conduct unit tests. Until now, the school has organized weekly, fortnightly, and monthly unit tests over the past six years. However, this system will be completely phased out. In place of unit tests, a new assessment-based evaluation method will be introduced, aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This major change aims to shift the focus from frequent testing to comprehensive evaluation of students’ learning and understanding.
The new assessment system is designed to reduce exam-related stress in students and ensure a broader analysis of the academic progress. Teachers will have a clearer understanding of each student’s overall development rather than focusing only on test performance. Furthermore, students will receive additional opportunities for improvement through continuous evaluations.
Previously, unit tests were organized based on a fixed academic schedule, but now, the evaluation will happen through regular observation and skill-based reviews. The education department believes this reform will help create a more student-friendly, stress-free learning environment across government schools.
They are aiming to just created a good mindset without any stress for the exams they always give in the name of unit tests and by this the students get’s stress of the subjects they want to study while they are learning something from schools and then the schools reforms a unit test by which the students gets some pressure to learning again that things for good marks they get in the unit tests. This change will affect over 40,000 government schools across the state. Students’ learning progress will be evaluated through continuous assessments instead of fixed tests.
