RAJANNA-SIRCILLA, NOVEMBER 13, 2024: The National Service Scheme (NSS) in association with the District Educational Department has imparted training for the NSS volunteers, who will participate in the National Achievement Survey, which will be conducted on December 4, 2024.
The training programme was conducted at the Government Degree College, Sircilla, in the Rajanna-Sircilla district on Wednesday. Principal Shankar informed the NSS volunteers to utilise the training for successful participation in the National Achievement Survey. District Educational Department AGM Venkateshwar Rao said that the survey was being conducted to strengthen the school education system.
Master trainer Manohar Reddy explained to the NSS volunteers about the importance of survey through power point presentation. Vice Principal T Lavanya, NSS Programme officer and Nodal officer Markonda Shakuntala, faculty members M Shoba Rani, Prasad, Narsaiah, Karuna, and others were also present.
The survey, held once every three years, is a nationwide assessment designed to evaluate the learning levels of students in government, central government, government-aided and private schools. It will assess students in subjects like mathematics, science, language, and social sciences apart from gathering basic information about school facilities.
“The final list of blocks and schools to be covered will be confirmed only when the exam date nears. Schools are selected through random sampling,” said an official from the State Council of Educational Research and Training, which is coordinating the survey along with Samagra Shiksha. Field-level officers will be appointed for each sampled school to monitor the test.
The test will be in a multiple-choice question format, and answer sheets will be uploaded on the PARAKH website.
