Abstract

The focus on assessment reforms in the National Policy on Education (NEP) 2020 is not new. However, the emphasis on ongoing holistic assessments is at odds with the prioritisation of indicators such as enrolment, attendance, infrastructure gaps, and expenditure tracking. In that context, ideas like competency-based learning and assessment can seem distant from day-to-day governance concerns. This article identifies and addresses myths related to competency-based assessment. It put forth the case that this approach necessitates shifts in pedagogy and classroom practices right from the foundational stage, and is therefore critical for assuring quality education.
