Education Conclave – North East

Jointly organised by Assam State School Education Board (ASSEB) and Azim Premji University

Board examinations at the end of Grades 10 and 12 play a decisive role in the lives of students in India as they are designed to certify the extent to which students have achieved competencies across curricular areas. Board exam outcomes have wide-ranging implications for students, parents, education administrators, and policymakers, given which they are considered high-stakes assessments in the Indian education system. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 recommends that board examinations adopt a competency-based assessment approach to evaluate the achievement of curricular aims and goals for the Secondary Stage, as outlined in the National Curriculum Framework for School Education (NCF-SE) 2023.

The Education Conclave on Enabling Boards to Transition to Competency-based Assessment is designed to provide a structured platform for representatives from boards, SCERTs, and DIETs to present, discuss, and critically examine ongoing initiatives and potential areas of collaboration. The Conclave will also serve as a forum for the dissemination of best practices and the facilitation of cross-learning across different boards.
