About the conference
Rethinking how we measure learning
Classrooms have changed. Technology, AI and a connected world have reshaped what learners need, and what schools must measure. Marks and examinations alone can no longer tell us whether a child is ready for tomorrow.
The 32nd National Conference of Sahodaya School Complexes asks a bold question: what if assessment became a tool for learning, not just a test of it?
Organised by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in collaboration with Jammu Sahodaya School Complex, the conference brings educationists and CBSE officials to Jammu for two days of ideas, dialogue and shared practices, aligned with NEP 2020 and NCF-SE 2023.
Think globally.Assess meaningfully.Learn continuously.Transform collectively.
