ORDER:

implementation of examination reforms i.e. Continuous and Comprehensive
Evaluation pattern of examination system for Classes VI to IX from the academic
year 2015-16 and for Class X from the academic year 2016-17 in fullest extent
in all schools in the State i.e. Government, local bodies, aided and private
recognized schools.
2. In the
reference 2nd read above, it is decided at the highest level to
conduct common examinations to the students of classes VI to X in all schools
including all Residential Societies and Private Recognized Schools and the
department of School Education will be the Nodal Agency for organizing common
examinations and directed to issue detailed guidelines in the matter,
immediately.
3. The Committee which was constituted on
Conducting Common Examinations in all schools in the reference 3rd read
above, in its report has stated that after introduction of Continuous and
Comprehensive Evaluation and after completion of four years of its
implementation, different studies like National Achievement Survey, State Level
Achievement Survey, Annual School Educational Report (Pratham) and Annual
Achievement Survey 2015 reveal that the performance of students at different
classes are far from the expected levels. As detention system is not in
practice, students are promoted to the next higher class without achieving the
required competencies. The Committee has, therefore, recommended for conducting
of the Common Summative Examinations from classes I to X under all management
schools including Andhra Pradesh Residential Educational Institutions Society (APREIS)
Schools, A.P. Model Schools, Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidhyalayas (KGBVs), Social
Welfare, Tribal Welfare / Ashram Schools, B.C. Welfare Schools and Private
Recognized Schools in order to have a common assessment platform aiming to
enhance quality of school education.
4. After careful examination of the
matter, Government hereby accept the recommendations of the committee and
accordingly, in addition to the orders issued in the G.O. 1st read
above on implementation of Examination Reforms i.e. Continuous and
Comprehensive Evaluation pattern of examination system and in G.O. 4th
