Amritsar, July 18

The Education Department has come up with colourful report cards for pre-primary kids. The cards for the students of pre-primary kids have pictures depicting various elements of pre-primary sections. These will be handed over to the parents at the parent-teacher meetings.

Besides the colour-coordinated report cards, these shall also include the details of the physical development of the child. The teachers will be carrying out such evaluation after a few months. These cards also have the mention of various subjects and columns to enter marks scored by the student in various set parameters.

Students will also be evaluated on their social–physical development. Amit Gupta, assistant district coordinator, Padho Punjab, Padhao Punjab, said, “We have distributed these report cards. These are not mere report cards but a detailed account of social–physical development of the child.”

There is an introduction of theme-based pre-primary syllabus. The text in the books has been reduced, while pictures have been given more space to improve understanding of concepts.

“There are a lot of pictures in the books. Teachers have been given supporting material as well,” added Gupta. This for the first time that the department has introduced report cards in these classes.
