Punjab Introduces Competency-Based Learning and Centralized Assessments in Schools
Punjab's education department is implementing new assessment reforms across government schools. From the 2026-27 session, classes VI to XII will adopt the Competency Enhancement Programme (CEP) focusing on competency-based learning and revised exam patterns. Additionally, Class V students will undergo a centralized common assessment system starting this academic year, with standardized tools and online result tracking to ensure uniform evaluation across schools. These initiatives aim to improve learning outcomes and assessment consistency statewide.
