Assessment guide
Continuous assessment should measure learning, not just collect marks.
Schools get better results when continuous assessment combines fair records, useful feedback, and tasks that match what was actually taught.
What to include
Use more than one evidence source.
A balanced continuous assessment system may include classwork, homework, tests, projects, practical work, oral responses, notebook checks, and participation. The right mix depends on the subject and class level.
Marks should be recorded consistently and explained clearly to learners. Where possible, assessment should help teachers identify gaps early, before terminal examination pressure begins.
Assessment questions should align with lesson objectives. If the class practised application, the assessment should not only test recall.
