The Punjab School Education Department has outlined a detailed schedule for the End-of-Year School Based Assessment (SBA) for 2025. This assessment will cover students from Grades 1 to 8 across Punjab. Here’s a breakdown of what this means and what activities are involved:
1. Uploading of Item Bank – March 3, 2025
The process starts with the uploading of the item bank on March 3, 2025. An item bank is a collection of questions and assessments that will be used to evaluate the students. This is the first step in preparing for the exams.
2. Paper Generation from IBS – Up to March 9, 2025
Following the uploading of the item bank, the next step is generating the papers from the Item Bank System (IBS). This must be completed by March 9, 2025. The IBS is a system that helps in creating the actual exam papers from the uploaded item bank.
3. Conduct of End-of-Year SBA – March 10-21, 2025
The main event, the conduct of the End-of-Year SBA, will take place from March 10 to March 21, 2025. During this period, students will take their assessments according to the schedule set by their schools.
4. Marking of Papers – March 11-24, 2025
Once the assessments are completed, the marking of papers will begin on March 11 and continue until March 24, 2025. This is a crucial step where teachers will grade the exams to determine how well the students have understood their coursework.
5. Report Card Preparation – March 25-27, 2025
After the papers are marked, the next step is to prepare the report cards. This will be done from March 25 to March 27, 2025. Report cards are important as they provide a detailed view of the student’s performance across different subjects.
6. Sharing of Report Cards with Parents – April 3, 2025
Finally, the report cards will be shared with parents on April 3, 2025. This is an important day for students and parents alike as it provides insights into the academic progress of the students.
This structured approach ensures that the assessment process is systematic and efficient, aiming to provide a clear measure of student learning and progress. It’s important for students, parents, and educators to be aware of these dates and prepare accordingly to make the process smooth and successful.
