Structured Assessment for Analysing Learning (SAFAL) 2024-25

Dear Parents,

Structured Assessment for Analysing Learning (SAFAL)  2024-25 is scheduled to be held in July 2024. Our School has successfully registered for this assessment. Students of classes VI and IX of the current session who cleared classes V and VIII respectively in March 2024 will be appearing for this.

SAFAL: Structured Assessment for Analysing Learning (SAFAL) is a competency-based diagnostic assessment as per the recommendation of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 (para 4.40), was launched by CBSE in its affiliated schools in July, 2021.

As a part of our continuous efforts to enhance the quality of education and foster competency-focused learning, SAFAL is being conducted in July 2024 for the students of classes 5 and 8 of schools affiliated to CBSE. 

The following points should be noted :

1. SAFAL is a diagnostic assessment aimed at assessing the achievement of competencies by learners. This is neither a competition nor a qualifying/certification exam. The primary purpose of SAFAL is to diagnose the areas where more efforts are required for quality teaching-learning at the school.

2. As SAFAL is a competency-based assessment, no extra class or specific preparation is needed. Classroom teaching that is competency focused and learner centric is sufficient.

3. Only the school-level competency reports will be given to all participating schools. Schools will be able to see only their own report without any comparison with any other school.

4. The school level reports of SAFAL assessments will not be made public and will not be shared with any other school. This will be done to ensure that the results remain confidential and the school is able to extract the maximum benefit from the results and feedback provided through the SAFAL reports.

5. Thus, SAFAL is a tool for assessment of the teaching-learning practices at schools and should be taken in this spirit only.

SAFAL at our School is  scheduled for 22nd July to 12th  August, 2024.
