UP govt will give new impetus to the goal of Nipun, students of council schools will be assessed through D.El.Ed trainees

Lucknow, Nov 13 (UNI) The Uttar Pradesh government is accelerating the goals of the Nipun Bharat Mission to strengthen the quality of basic education in the state's council schools and assess students' actual learning competencies.
In this regard, the Nipun School Assessment will be conducted for students of classes 1 and 2 in the state's council primary and composite schools. D.El.Ed. trainees will be assigned this responsibility.
Parth Sarathi Sen Sharma, Additional Chief Secretary, Basic and Secondary Education Department, has issued detailed guidelines in this regard.
According to the scheduled schedule, the assessment will be conducted in two phases. The first phase will be conducted from December 21st to 30th, and the second phase from January 20th to 30th, 2027.
After the assessment, report cards will be uploaded on the NIC portal and made available to parents. An award ceremony will also be organized to encourage the efforts of teachers from Nipun schools.
Through this, students' language and mathematical skills will be systematically assessed to reveal their actual academic progress. This will help schools move forward towards achieving the Nipun goal and strengthen the quality of basic education in the state.
Each D.El.Ed. trainee will be assigned a school in all council primary and composite schools in the state. A total of 24 students will be assessed there, including 12 students from Class 1 and 12 from Class 2. If there are fewer than 12 students enrolled in a class, all students will be evaluated. Student names will be randomly displayed on the Nipun Plus app. The respective headmaster and teachers will ensure student attendance on the scheduled date.
The Nipun Plus app will be used for assessment. It will feature geo-fencing, random selection of student names, and photo capture. Written work will be evaluated using image recognition and OCR verification technology. Trainers will assess students using smartphones or tablets. Children will be encouraged to answer on their own and no assistance will be provided.
Assessments will be conducted during school hours. Assessments will not be conducted on Sundays and public holidays, and only a maximum of two schools will be assessed per working day. Teachers have been instructed not to interfere with the evaluation process.
A student who answers at least 75 percent of the questions correctly in both Hindi and Mathematics will be considered a proficient student. If 80 percent or more students in Class 1 and Class 2 of a school are found to be proficient, it will be declared a Nipun Vidyalaya. Similarly, if 80 percent of schools in a development block achieve the Nipun Vidyalaya target, that development block will be declared a Nipun Vikas Kshetra.
ARPs will also conduct sample assessments of students from Classes 1 to 5 in the selected model schools in their development block through the Nipun Plus app. This will include multiple-choice and descriptive questions in language and mathematics. Students' answers will be evaluated according to the prescribed standards and the details will be recorded on the app.
D.El.Ed. trainees will be trained. Pre-training and hands-on practice will be completed by November 30. Online training, user manuals, and training videos will be made available. Control rooms will be established at the State Project Office, District Project Office, and Diet level to monitor the assessments.
For any problems or complaints, the Vidya Samiksha Center can be contacted telephonically. After the assessment, data analysis will be conducted at the State Project Office level, and five percent of the results will be randomly verified under the direction of SCERT.
