Teachers make a lot of effort by designing and presenting various activity-based exercises where in the inputs from the children are required. Normally they learn during this exercise but it is really important to assess their learning. Examinations are found to be proficient in assessing the the curriculum based questions. But in order to assess the real learning, it was decided to to find out whether they have been able to absorb the Learning Outcomes that the teachers intended to get.
