Exam Brief

Ladakh has three levels of education: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Exams at these levels are given by a variety of authorities and boards. From September 27, 2021, the Ladakh government has established a separate education board. The official notice can be found on the official website of CBSE. 

Ladakh has three levels of education: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Exams at these levels are given by a variety of authorities and boards. The Central Board of Secondary Education administers the Ladakh board exams. As per the circular, all the Government schools in the union territory of Ladakh would be affiliated with CBSE. The exams will be administered by CBSE because the union territory lacks an autonomous board. The board exam results are made available in May-June, each academic year.

The CBSE board is in charge of delivering exams from first to twelfth grades across the state. All government-run schools in Ladakh follow the CBSE curriculum. The CBSE board has complete control over the delivery of higher secondary and senior secondary education in state-affiliated schools. The board has the authority to change the curriculum, provide textbooks, appoint teachers, and administer exams in all of the state’s affiliated schools.

Functions:

1. It is responsible for supervising the administration of secondary and higher secondary school board exams.
2. The board is in charge of preparing and disseminating exam results.
3. The board is in charge of establishing the curriculum, syllabus, and textbooks, etc.
4. It provides textbooks to the school’s education department.

Exam Summary

Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation: 

The goal of education is to assist children in developing effectively. With this goal in mind, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) designed the CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) design for secondary classes in 2009-2010. This was enacted as part of the 2009 Right to Education Act, with the goal of providing high-quality education to students aged 6 to 14. Continuous evaluation entails identifying student problems on a daily, in-class, and after-class basis. The term “comprehensive” refers to the thoroughness of the evaluation in all areas, including cognitive, emotional, and functional evaluation.

There are two types of tests in the CCE pattern: formative and summative. Formative tests include a student’s in-class performance, classwork, homework, project submission, and active participation in various class events. In the summative pattern, three-hour written tests are used to assess the student’s intellectual understanding.

Formative Assessment (which was completed four times during an academic session) accounted for 40% of the total.

The Summative Assessment (a three-hour written test given twice; SA-1 was given after FA-1 and FA-2, and SA-2 was given after FA-3 and FA-4) accounted for 60% of the total.

Student Counselling

Students should be actively involved in developing strong basic knowledge in all subjects at the start of lower secondary school. Spend your time focusing on your passion, talent, or gaining knowledge, etc. Don’t compare your performance to that of your peers because each individual is unique and endowed with talents and good qualities. Spend some time doing yoga, meditation, or other physical activities to keep your body and mind healthy, active, focused, and positive. Failures should not be used to discourage you; instead, they should be used to help you grow by allowing you to learn from your mistakes. Exams are part of the school curriculum and are used to assess the Scholastic areas.

• From the beginning, it is important to concentrate during ongoing classes and studies.
• Each student must have a well-organised study schedule and strictly adhere to it.
• Every day, study and revise all subjects. Spend more time on difficult topics.
• Clear all your doubts by enlisting the help of teachers, peer groups, friends, or parents.
• Sit in a place free of distractions and disturbances for a focused study.

Parent Counselling

Parent counselling primarily aims to encourage positive behaviour, manage undesirable behaviour, and understand children’s emotional needs. This can be accomplished by either one or both parents. Parent counselling assists parents in coping with various types of difficulties that affect their children by providing proper guidance, tools, and knowledge. Parents should be more aware of the career options available to their children in the near future.

Here are some frequently asked questions for parents counselling:

Q1. Does physical activity improve learning in 12-year olds?
A. Exercise improves learning on three levels:

• First, it optimises your mindset to improve alertness, attention, and motivation.
• Second, it prepares and encourages nerve cells to bind to one another, which is the cellular basis for logging in new information.
• Third, it encourages the development of new nerve cells from stem cells in the hippocampus.

Q2. My child is uninterested in doing his schoolwork. How do I get my child to do his homework?
A. Try to make things as simple as possible for kids who are still learning at home. This can alleviate some stress, especially for children who have difficulty in focusing.

Q3. How do I encourage my child to do best?
A. Following are some tips to encourage your child to do best:

• Avoid evaluating.
• Be as specific as possible.
• Avoid making comparisons with siblings or friends.
• Give your child credit and power.
• Be ecstatic!
• Assist your children in becoming more motivated.
• Empower your children.
• Describe how your child’s behaviour makes you feel.

Q4. My child is not interested in learning. How can I encourage my child to study?
A. Create a healthy, learning-friendly environment. Remove distractions and establish a daily routine that includes time set aside for studies and other activities. You will need to strike a balance so that the child has time for recreation and hobbies in addition to studying.

• National Interactive Maths Olympiad (NIMO): This exam assesses and analyses students' mental abilities and mathematical skills. It also aims to reduce students' fear of mathematics.

Learning from Real World

A good education allows students to apply what they learn in the classroom to real-life situations. When students gain hands-on experience with objects and subject matter, they gain a broader understanding of the subjects, and learning becomes more enjoyable and interesting. Children must be exposed to ongoing, authentic learning experiences such as activities, experiments, field trips, group activities, and so on.

Future Skills

Coding: Coding is a creative activity in which students can participate actively. It aids in the development of computational thinking, problem-solving skills, critical thinking, and exposure to real-life situations in order to solve problems in a variety of domains. Coding focuses on laying the groundwork for students to build competencies in various areas such as:

• Artificial intelligence (AI),
• Data sciences 
• Research

Do It Yourself (DIY): It is a creative approach to learning that includes activities and projects. Drama can be used to teach subjects such as English and Hindi, while debate, surveys, and fieldwork can be used to teach topics in Social Science. Experiments, field studies, and other forms of science can be experienced. Some Mathematics topics, such as profit and loss, area measurement, and so on, should be taught to students through activities. Embibe App offers DIY for each grade, subject, and chapter to make learning more enjoyable and meaningful.

Career Skills

School education moulds the all-around development of a child. Along with the curriculum, co-curricular activities play an important role in developing different skills in students. This can be achieved by giving opportunities for each student and encouraging them at every level of their development.
