INTRODUCTION

  Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan had set up a task force in 1994 to suggest a specific course of action for the    strengthening of Primary Education in the Kendriya Vidyalaya. This Committee made some recommendations with an emphasis on joyful learning through an activity base approach. Accordingly the K V S has adopted the activity based approach for teaching at the Primary level, together with a system of grades for assessing the child’s performance. The aim of assessment is to improve the child’s capability rather enforcing retention in the same class.

         To ensure a smooth transition from the home environment to the Primary school, a “School Readiness Programme” of 6 weeks duration has been developed and adopted. At the end of the programme the teacher may assess if the desired behavioral outcome has been achieved in the following areas

Recognition of the environment

Confidence

Observation

Pattern copying

Correlation

Classification

Sequential arrangement

Expression

Understanding

Creative Skills
