Grade for Library Activities should be included in CBSE CCE pattern.

[Dr. N K Pachauri]

Acording to the new guidelines of CBSE the CCE (Countinuous and Copmrehensive Evaluation) have been adopted for the evaluation of Non scholastic activities of the students. It includes Physical Education, Music, Art and Craft, Dance, Behaviour  etc and the grading points for all the activities is to be given to the students, BUT there is no provision of grading points for Library activities.

so if we have some parameters to evaluate for other non scholastic areas, why not for the library?

I think, if some grading points of Library is included in the CCE pattern , The STUDENT shall take active and serious part in all the activities of library and they shall give due respect to the Librarian.

The library is the 'heart' of any academic institutions/organization and plays an important role in all academic activities and more. Keeping in view the aims and objectives of the School library, support the teaching of the curriculum by providing resources in a variety of media for staff and all pupils across all subject areas, provide books for recreational reading and try foster a love of reading for pleasure, be a focal point for the teaching of information skills and to support independent study, maintain a quiet and attractive environment for study, advise on and monitor the use of ICT in the library context, provide opportunity for all pupils to have equal access to resources for their educational needs, be a central and vital part of school life and to provide pupils with opportunities for service. According to said objectives, obviously Librarians are doing great job for provide information to the users. You have great respect don’t dishearten if govt not implement CBSE CCE methods in the library. School librarians should be give suggestions to your head/principal regarding CBSE CCE pattern. It should be beneficial for teachers and students.

Thanks for your valuable suggestions but CBSE should take seriously this issue. Reading habit development is the first and foremost objective of the school library, if CBSE apply Library grades in CCE students will have to be serious for library activities and book reading.
