Which state(s) have expressed serious reservations to the PMO regarding census based assessment of learning outcomes at the school level?

a. Tamil Nadu

b. Karnataka

c. Haryana

d. All of the above

ANSWER: All of the above

Explanation:

Haryana, Karnataka and TN have expressed serious reservations to the PMO that census based assessment of learning outcomes should be done at school level.

Haryana and TN made a strong pitch for sample based assessment and showed how to improve the system.

NCERT has also expressed reservations about the census based assessment.

It has been argued that the census based assessment would not provide the kind of data which is needed.

Sample based assessment of Class III, V and VIII students in Tamil, English and Maths showed that TN in 2012-2013 was easy to administer and could also be used to draw conclusions with ease.

Census based survey has become a gigantic exercise with the focus moving away from lessons.
