Assessment of Learning Outcomes in Rajasthan Govt Schools
The assessment, scheduled for November 19 and 20, 2026, will evaluate the foundational literacy and numeracy skills of students in Classes II, III and V
UdaipurTimes, Nov 9, 2026 - The Rajasthan Education Department is conducting student assessment 2026-27 under the PM SHRI scheme. The assessment, scheduled for November 19 and 20, 2026, will evaluate the foundational literacy and numeracy skills of students in Classes II, III and V.
The purpose is to determine not only how much students in government schools are learning from their textbooks but also how proficient they are in reading, writing and solving mathematical problems. A key feature of this process is that students will be assessed individually through a one-to-one interaction rather than through a group examination.
For this purpose, 60 government schools in Udaipur district have been selected involving a total of 1,800 students. These include PM SHRI schools as well as other equivalent government schools. Four Field Investigators will be appointed at each selected school. Three will assess students from different classes, while the fourth will inspect the school's academic arrangements, teachers' availability and the use of teaching-learning materials.
On the first day of the assessment, three Field Investigators will visit each selected school. The first will assess students of Class II, the second will assess Class III students while the third will assess Class V students.
Based on a sample selection process, 10 students from each class will be included in the assessment. Thus, a total of 30 students across all three classes will be assessed in each school.
During the assessment, each student will be asked questions individually. The assessment of the next student will begin only after all the prescribed questions for the previous student have been completed. Both the students' responses and the time taken by them to solve each question will be recorded. The Field Investigators themselves will enter the students' responses in the prescribed OMR sheets.
On November 20, the fourth Field Investigator will visit the school to conduct an institutional-level inspection. During this process, the school questionnaire, teacher questionnaire and school observation form will be filled out. The school head will be asked questions regarding the overall functioning and arrangements of the institution.
Two teachers — one Language and the other Maths — will also be required to fill out questionnaires.
In addition, the availability of teaching-learning materials in schools and the extent to which they are actually being used will be examined.
The assessment will cover:
- ABL Kits (Activity-Based Learning Kits)
- FLN (Foundational Literacy and Numeracy) materials
- Teaching-Learning Materials (TLM)
- Print-rich classrooms
- Remedial teaching
- Holistic Progress Cards (HPC)
- Student portfolios
- Library activities
- Activities conducted under the No Bag Day initiative
