 PRIMARY EDUCATION
 Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan had set up a task force in
1994 to suggest a specific course of action for the
strengthening of Primary Education in the Kendriya
Vidyalaya. This Committee made some recommendations
with an emphasis on joyful learning through an activity
base approach. Accordingly the K V S has adopted the
activity based approach for teaching at the Primary level,
together with a system of grades for assessing the child’s
performance.
 The aim of assessment is to improve the child’s
capability rather enforcing retention in the same
class.
 To ensure a smooth transition from the home
environment to the Primary school, a "School
Readiness Programme" of 6 weeks duration has been
developed and adopted. At the end of the programme
the teacher may assess if the desired behavioral
outcome has been achieved in the following areas
 Recognition of the environment
 Confidence
 Observation
 Pattern copying
 Correlation
 Classification
 Sequential arrangement
 Expression
 Understanding
 Creative Skills
 Strengthening Of Primary Education
 In pursuance to the recommendations of the
Yashpal Committee, the School Readiness
Programme for 6 to 8 weeks and the activity-
based approach for teaching and grading
system for assessing the performance of
children have been adopted. The grading is for
improving the competency and skill of the
child rather than detaining the child in the
same class. A five-point scale has been adopted
for classes I to V. A handbook on School
Readiness programme and handbooks for PRTs
for classes I to V have been published to
provide the required orientation for Principals
and teachers.
 Pre-Primary Education
 A scheme of Pre-Primary classes on self-financing
basis was started in 50 Kendriya Vidyalayas in the
year 2000-2001. However, all Kendriya
Vidyalayas having three or more sections in each
class have noe been allowed to introduce upto two
sections of the pre-primary on self financing basis,
provided there is a demand from category 1st
parents and infrastructure is available with the
