Grading in Evaluation: Kerala High School Level

• In Kerala's high school level (classes 8, 9, and 10), a comprehensive grading system is employed to assess students, providing a complete picture of their learning and progress. 

• This system is primarily based on the following elements:

1. Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE)

• This approach is used to continuously evaluate students and monitor their development, encompassing both scholastic (academic) and co-scholastic (non-academic) aspects. 

• The implementation of CCE at the high school level in Kerala encourages students to actively engage in their learning process
