CBE and HPC are interconnected as inculcating various competencies will lead to all-round growth and development of the learners. Building competencies amongst students as well as Facilitators is the need of the hour. Sufficing to it, the Facilitators should prepare a Competency Based Lesson Plan for teaching the students. It should focus on learning objectives, outcomes, activities, SDGs achieved and skill set improved. Holistic Progress Card is the 360 degrees report of the learners with important attributes such as self assessment, peer assessment, teacher assessment and parent assessment. Honourable ma’am elaborated that HPC will help to map the status of each child’s learning for foundational literacy and numeracy skills. And it will focus on uniqueness of each learner. HPC is based on three development goals Health and Well being, Effective Communicators and Involved Learners. Prototype of HPC prepared by CBSE was thoroughly discussed with the Facilitators.
