The Workshop highlighted many issues and challenges being faced in implementing CCE pattern of evaluation and recent G.Os issued for the betterment of Assessment and Evaluation. Three of the key recommendations of the Workshop were to conduct only 2 Summative Assessments (as being done in Telangana, Karnataka and Kerala) instead of three (3), removing weightage for internal marks of classes VIII and IX in class X; and external evaluation of Summative Assessments. To implement these three recommendations of the Workshop, the Commissioner of School Education, A.P. Amaravati has proposed certain amendments/additions to the related G.Os issued during the 2013, 2015 and 2016 and requested to bring out these amendments into effect from the current academic year i.e. 2017-18.
