PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024: The Performance, Assessment, Review, and Analysis of Knowledge for Holistic Development (PARAKH) Parakh Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024, a survey of students from Classes 3, 6, and 9, will take place today, December 4. The survey intends to measure the competencies produced by pupils at the end of the foundational, preparatory, and middle stages, giving a comprehensive review of India's educational development by the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
The survey will assess students' academic competencies in approximately 88,000 classrooms in 782 districts. The poll will offer suggestions for improving the standard and inclusiveness of education.
The PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024 would encompass around 23 lakh students from 36 states and union territories. Students in grades 3, 6, and 9 will be evaluated in Language, Mathematics, Science, The World Around Us, and Social Science.
The test would be administered in 23 languages: Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Konkani, Malayalam, Manipuri, Marathi, Nepali, Oriya, Punjabi, Sanskrit, Santhali, Sindhi, Tamil, Telugu, Urdu, Bodo, English, Mizo, Garo, and Khasi.
PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024: Key objectives
- Assess pupils' competency in core courses.
- Provide information about the educational system's strengths and deficiencies at the national, state, and district levels.
- Help policymakers develop and implement successful educational reforms.
"For smooth and fair conduct of the survey 94,878 Field Investigators, 75,565 Observers, 3128 District Level Officers and 180 State Nodal Officers from 36 States and Union Territories have been appointed", the official press release read.
The teacher questionnaire must be completed by the chosen students' teachers, while the school questionnaire must be completed by the institution's principal. Furthermore, a team that includes an observer and a field investigator will visit the school before the morning assembly to monitor the procedure.
The results of PARAKH Rashtriya Sarvekshan 2024 will have a significant impact on educational changes and future policy decisions. The evaluation uses a robust technique that combines traditional paper-based testing with sophisticated OMR (Optical Mark Recognition) technology to ensure both precision and effectiveness. Rather than assessing student achievement, this program is a critical vehicle for substantially improving the educational system.
By collecting opinions from around the country, the study hopes to inform strategies to improve the learning experience for millions of Indian students, creating a more equal and effective educational environment.
