CHAPTER – 11

RULES OF EXAMINATION, GRADING AND PROMOTION

Reference. Appx X. Details of Time Based Teaching Units

(Excluding Final Tests, vacation). Article 223

Examinations.

221. In each academic year, the school will hold the following tests carrying weightage as under:-

(a) Unit Tests 2 - 20%

(b) Half yearly Test 1 - 30%

(c) Annual Test 1 - 50%

222. The objective of the test and the examination is not merely to record the pupil’s achievements but also to assess and identify the needs and the points of weakness and strength. The results disclosed by these tests should be used by the teacher to adapt instruction more closely to the individual needs and capabilities of the pupils and wherever necessary, to organise special instruction for the pupils in areas where their individual weakness has been disclosed.

223. Coordinated Coverage of Syllabus The whole academic year consists of micro teaching units of one fortnight each. HQ AWES will intimate the contents to be covered in each unit by 15 Mar each year for the ensuing academic year. It is of utmost importance that schools abide by the schedule, failing which students proceeding on transfers will suffer immensely. Details of teaching units are at Appendix X.

224. Minimum Attendance Necessary for Annual Examination. A pupil may not be allowed to sit in the annual examination if he/she has not put in a minimum of 75% of the total attendance of the academic session, including attendance in previous school if the student has been admitted on transfer. The Principal is authorised to condone shortage in attendance upto 15% in special circumstances meriting this concession e.g. illness etc., i.e. permit a student with 60% attendance to take the annual examination.

225. Register of Examination Results. The Principal shall maintain a register of examination results in which the consolidated results of all the examinations held shall be recorded, class-wise and subject-wise together with a description of the measures taken to remedy the weaknesses disclosed. The question papers, mark sheets and

answer books of the half-yearly and annual examination shall also be preserved for one year for inspection of CBSE and for forwarding to them in case required for classes IX and X.

226. The results of the annual examination shall be declared by the Principal by 31 Mar.

Assessment Rules

227. The final assessment of a pupil at the end of the academic year shall be based on his total achievements. The assessment of the students will be carried out for all classes as per the CBSE rules.

Promotion.

228 If a pupil fails to appear either in the half-yearly examination or periodical tests on genuine grounds as illustrated in the following Article, he/she may be allowed proportionate credit for such a test or half-yearly examination for the purpose of final assessment for promotion to the next class in the following manner: -

“The number of marks obtained by the pupil for the various tests, sessional work and annual examination minus the periodical test or half-yearly examination, which he/she has missed, may be worked out. The total so arrived at, may be proportionately increased taking into account the maximum marks of the missing test”.

229. For example, for a pupil who has not appeared in the half-yearly examination, the total marks obtained by him on the basis of his annual record may be worked out for the maximum of 70 marks (30 marks being assigned to half-yearly examination), and then projected to the maximum base of 100 marks. Thus, if the credit for a pupil for periodical test, class work and home assignments and annual examination works out to say, 45 out of 70, excluding the credit for half-yearly test which he/she has missed due to illness, the total credit on the basis of the above formula will be 64 marks out of 100 marks.

230. The same criteria shall be adopted for working out credit for any other periodical test which a pupil might have missed on account of illness etc.

Circumstances under which the Concession mentioned in Article 228 would be Admissible.

231. The above concession will be admissible only in the bonafide cases (i) of illness supported by medical certificate from a Government or Municipal Hospital, (ii) of transfer of parents during the period of examination, and (iii) where a student could not take the test or examination for reasons beyond his control.

232. A pupil, who fails to appear in the annual examination even though he/she had secured sufficient marks in periodical tests and half-yearly examination, will be deemed to have failed in the annual examination and shall not be promoted to the next higher class. Where, however, the absence from the annual examination was due to reasons beyond the control of the pupil, he/she will be given a supplementary examination on order of the Principal. The Principal may at his/her discretion refer cases to the Chairman whose decision will be final.

Grading System

233. Grading system based on continuous and comprehensive evaluation system, laid down by CBSE, would be introduced as under :-

(a) For Classes I to V. Five points grading system to be adopted as under:-

(i) A+ Outstanding 90% - 100%

(ii) A Excellent 75% - 89%

(iii) B Very Good 56% - 74%

Inspection of the school

321. One of the main features of the Army Welfare Education Society (AWES) is to develop its

schools as quality schools at a cost that soldiers can afford. In keeping with this ideal and in

order to have an effective and close watch on the quality and standard of teaching in these

schools, an inspection of the school will be carried out.

Inspections

322. Academic activities take place in the schools on a continuous basis. Inspection of school

should not cause disruption in the academic schedule. Combined annual and technical inspection

of the school will be carried out by 30 Sep and report submitted to Patron and AWES HQ by 15

Oct each year. The duration of the inspection will not be more than two days. HQ Commands will

decide the composition of the panel of officers for inspection. The format for combined Annual

and Technical Inspection Report is given at Appendix Y.

Special Inspection

323. Special inspections of the schools may be carried out by HQ Commands and Army HQ

wherever necessary. The HQ ordering special inspection will decide the composition of the

inspection team.

Accommodation, Rent & Allied Charges And Furniture

324. Accommodation

(a) Provision for Children’s School has been made in Para 3.10 and for Kindergarten

School in Para 3.40 of Scales of Accommodation for Defence Services (SOA) 2009. These

schools are generally constructed through Public Fund as per approved Annual Maj Works

Programme (AMWP).

(b) Provision for Kindergarten school (KG)/ schools has been made in Para 3:40 of

Scales of Accommodation. These schools can be constructed under financial powers of

various CFAs upto Army Commanders.

(c) Wherever such accommodation is not available, the existing available

accommodation can be re-appropriated under Para 64 of Defence Works Procedure (DWP)

2007 /Para 155 of RMES.

(d) Schools can also be constructed through non-public fund after getting the land on

lease. APSs Dhaula kuan, Pithoragarh, Beas, Shankar Vihar, Sadar Bazar Delhi Cantt

and Jalandhar are some of the examples. Allotment of Defence Land to AWES for running

of Army Schools / Army Public Schools is governed by Govt of India, MOD letter no.

11013/1/D(Lands)/2000 dated 30 Jan 2001, given at Appendix Z.

325. Rent and Allied Charges . Schools functioning from re-appropriated barracks with

approval of Army Headquarters prior to 06 Apr 93 are not charged rent and allied charges as per

MOD letter No 10(17)/93/D(Q & C) dated 06 Apr 93. Schools constructed out of welfare funds

will pay allied charges as applicable.

326. Furniture

(a) Furniture has been scaled for schools in Table 3 X of Scale of Furniture 1989, given

at Appendix AA.

(b) Wherever schools have been constructed through non-public funds or where the

furniture is not available, the furniture should be procured through a Board of Officers who

will approve the quality and the design.

(c) Physical comfort, economy in material and labour and durability should be the main

consideration in design of the furniture of the school. All furniture, fixtures and equipment

should be scaled to the size of the pupils for whom they are intended. Great care and

prudence should be exercised while ordering furniture for different classes. In particular, it

should be ensured that all items of furniture, particularly desks, chairs and tables

purchased by the school are elegant and conform to the size and height of the age group of

children for whom they are intended.

School Magazine

327. (a) The main purpose of the School magazine is to encourage the art of writing, among

the students and to train the young minds to express themselves freely. The teachers may

also contribute articles in the Magazine but the articles should be thought-provoking and

should deal with matters of scientific, historic or literary interest. To encourage writing

habit, the teachers should guide the students, on proper lines and give them points on

various topics with a view to bring out the hidden talent and creative art in them.

(b) The magazine should encourage children’s participation in various co-curricular

programmes. Accordingly, pictures exhibiting their activities on the play-field or on the

stage or in debates etc., should be given prominent place in the magazine. Photographs of

pupils winning prizes and shields in inter-district or inter-state tournaments or winning

credits in All-India or International competitions should appear in the Magazine with suitable

captions so as to inspire a spirit of healthy competition among them.

(c) In short, the magazine should mirror the various activities of the school progress and

distinction achieved in academic, cultural and athletic fields.

(d) Magazine should be produced in a most cost effective manner and thrust should be

on quality of contents and not on ostentatious getup.

328. The school may bring out the Magazine between November and January every year.

School Library

329. A library plays a very important role as an instrument of education. The main purpose of

the library is to increase the level of information of students, to help develop in them attitudes of

devotion to work and help build their character, exposing them to well-chosen ideas and

examples given in the books. It is a matter of paramount importance and priority to promote the

desire and habit of general reading among the students. Every endeavour should be made to

ensure that the library attains scholastic efficiency by providing material to supplement and enrich

instruction and guidance given in the classroom, besides affording the children mental pleasure.

The school library should lead each pupil to discover himself, guide him to adopt higher ideals of

life and help him in the choice of a useful career.

330. The library should be the most attractive place in the school so that the students will be

naturally drawn to it. It should be housed in a spacious, well-lit and furnished hall with neat and

clean surroundings. The school should have at least five books per students in the library

excluding guide books and complementary text books.

331. The success of the library depends largely on the proper selection of books, periodicals

and journals and as such proper attention should be paid to this matter. A small committee of

teachers headed by the Principal, who have a genuine love for books, may be entrusted with the

task of selecting books for the library. This committee will study book reviews and consult

catalogues and select books keeping in view the natural and psychological tendencies of the

pupils, their interests the age group and level of intelligence.

332. The books selected for the library should augment the academic contents and be

consistent with the level of education and understanding of the population. These should be

properly stacked to afford ease in selection by students. Library should have sufficient number of

books on diversified topics to cater for aptitude and interest of the students.

Annual Confidential Reports

(Instructions for the preparation and maintenance of Annual Confidential Reports on the staff of Army Schools)

Preparation of Reports

1. The Annual Confidential Reports on the staff of Army Schools, shall be prepared for the year ending 31 March every year. These reports must be completed not later than the 15 April every year.

Maintenance of Reports

2. The Principal should regard it as his personal and special responsibility to ensure that Annual Confidential Reports are properly maintained in respect of all persons working in the school. It is his duty to observe carefully the work and conduct of the staff and to provide training and guidance wherever necessary. The Annual Confidential Reports should be based upon the results of such observations and periodical inspections.

Custody of Reports

3. The reports of all staff will be kept under the custody of the Principal of the School. Principal’s report once reviewed by the Patron, will be kept in safe custody of the Chairman, School Managing Committee.

Period and Frequency of Reporting

4. Confidential Reports should be recorded annually, for the preceding academic year.

5. Reports should also be written on the staff of the school, when the Principal leaves the school, during the interval between two annual reports.

6. No report need, however, be written unless a reporting officer has at least three months experience on which to base his report.

Communication of Adverse Remarks

7. It is necessary that every employee should know what his shortcomings are and how he can remove them. The best results will be achieved only if every reporting officer realizes that it is his duty not only to make an objective assessment of his subordinate’s work and qualities, but also to give him at all times the necessary advice, guidance and assistance to correct his faults and deficiencies. If this part of duty is properly performed, there should be no difficulty about recording adverse entries, because they would only refer to shortcomings, which have persisted despite the reporting officer’s efforts to have them corrected. Accordingly, in mentioning any faults or shortcomings, the reporting officer should also give an indication of the efforts he had made, by way of guidance, admonition etc. to get the shortcomings removed and the results of such efforts.

8. The adverse remarks in the confidential report shall be communicated to the employee concerned by the Initiating Officer where considered necessary, and a copy of such communication should be attached to the ACR.

9. In communicating remarks to the member of staff reported upon, the following procedure should be followed :-

(a) Where no adverse entry is made in a Confidential Report, nothing should be

communicated, except in cases dealt with in (c) below.

(b) Where an adverse entry is made, whether it relates to a remediable or an irremediable shortcoming, it should be communicated; but while doing so, the substance of the entire report, including what may have been said in praise of the person should be communicated.

(c) Where the report of a person shows that he/she had made efforts to remedy or overcome shortcomings mentioned in the preceding report, the fact should be communicated to the person in a suitable form and a copy of such communication should be added to the ACR.

Representation against Adverse Remarks 10. Representations against adverse remarks should be made within three months of the date of communication.

11. The following procedure may be adopted in dealing with such representations:- (a) All representations against adverse remarks will be examined and disposed of by

the Chairman in consultation, if necessary, with the reporting officer.

(b) If it is found that the remarks were justified and the representation was frivolous, a note will be made in the Confidential Report of the employee that he/she did not take correction in good spirit.

(c) If the Chairman feels that there is not sufficient ground for interference, the representation should be rejected and the employee informed accordingly.

(d) If the Chairman feels that remarks should be moderated, necessary entries separately with proper attestation at the appropriate place of the report, will be made; the correction would not be made in the earlier entries themselves.

(e) In the event of the competent authority coming to the conclusion that the adverse remarks were inspired by malice or were entirely incorrect or unfounded and therefore deserve expunction, the Chairman will take necessary action to score through the remarks, paste it over or obliterate it otherwise and will make an entry, properly dated and attested, stating that this has been done.

12. Representations or explanations against adverse entries should not be added to the Confidential Reports.

Propriety of issue of Letters of Appreciation or Notes of Commendation to the Staff

13. The general policy is to discourage the practice of granting letters of appreciation or notes of commendation to any member of the staff and placing such letters in the Confidential Reports. Exception may, however, be made in cases where letters of appreciation are issued by the Managing Committee in respect of any outstanding good work done and the same should go into the Confidential Report Dossier.

The Chief of the Army Staff, The Chief of the naval Staff, The Chief of the Air Staff, NEW DELHI.

Sub : Allotment of Defence land to Army Welfare Education Society (AWES)

for running of Army Schools / Army Public Schools.

Sir,

I am directed to say that the issue of grant of Defence land to Army Schools and Army Public Schools, under the aegis of Army Welfare Education Society (AWES) etc. for catering to the educational needs of the wards of defence Service Personnel has been engaging the attention of the Government. The issue has been considered in the Ministry and it has been decided that the requests for allotment of Defence land to these schools would be governed under the following terms and conditions:-

(i) The land can be allotted to AWES etc. for running of each Army School / Army Public School at a nominal rent of Rs 1/- per annum.

(ii) Though the actual requirement of land to each Army School / Army Public School can be decided at the time of consideration of each individual case, it should not exceed 11 acres in the case of Army Schools, and 14 acres in the case of Army Public Schools.

(iii) The land may be allotted to AWES on lease hold basis for an initial period of 30 years, renewable upto two like terms of 30 years each, in schedule VIII of CLA Rules, 1937 with the specific condition that the land will not be sub-leased or transferred in any form to any party and if the same is not required, it will be given back to Ministry of Defence.

(iv) The issue of allowing the use of Govt buildings occupied by the school and charging of rent etc, till its own building comes up, where such schools have already been established, may be considered at the time of consideration of the request for allotment of defence land to such schools.

(v) In addition to above, the allotment of land to AWES for running of Schools will be subject to other usual conditions.

(vi) The approval of the Cabinet would be required in each case.

(vii) Army Welfare Education Society will set up and run the Schools with its own resources and no liability will accrue to the Govt.

2. This policy will be equally applicable to similar schools established by the welfare societies of Air Force and Navy.

3. The allotment of Defence land to the Army Schools / Army Public Schools already established by AWES on defence land / buildings, and similar schools established by the welfare societies of Air Force and navy, without the approval of the Govt, will also be governed by the above guidelines, and should be referred to the Ministry for regularization.
