Why do we need to change the way we assess students and adopt a more student centric approach?

Student-centric assessments play a crucial role in schools as they shift the focus from standardized testing to personalized evaluation, catering to the diverse needs and abilities of individual learners (As stated in the NEP 2020). By emphasizing student-centered assessments, educators can gain a deeper understanding of students' strengths, growth areas, and learning styles. This approach promotes a holistic view of a student's progress, allowing for tailored instruction and targeted interventions to foster academic growth. Moreover, student-centric assessments encourage self-reflection, motivation, and ownership of learning, as students become active participants in setting goals, monitoring their progress, and taking responsibility for their education. Ultimately, this student-focused approach cultivates a positive learning environment, leading to improved academic outcomes and equipping students with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in the VUCA world.
