Provision of Feedback & Role of Community in CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation)
Introduction
Feedback is a very important part of the teaching-learning process. It helps students know how they are doing and what they need to improve. It also helps parents understand their child’s learning progress and helps teachers improve their teaching methods.
In the Indian education system, CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) and NEP 2020 focus on regular feedback. Feedback should be positive, clear, and useful so that learning becomes better and more joyful for every child.
1. Need for Feedback
For Students:
Helps them know their strengths and weaknesses
Encourages self-improvement and motivation
Reduces fear of exams by focusing on progress
Makes learning more meaningful and focused
For Parents:
Helps them understand the child’s progress at school
Builds a bridge between home and school
Supports parents to help children in studies
For Teachers:
Helps identify what works and what needs to change in teaching

Indian Context Example:
In CCE (CBSE), teachers gave regular feedback in the form of marks, grades, and remarks, which helped students improve before the final exam.
