The Effectiveness of Continuous Assessment as an Innovative Mechanism for Efficiency in Learning and Teaching

Abstract

In human societies, there is scarcely any field of human endeavor in which education is not required. If the benefit is not directly applied, the residue can indirectly contribute to efficiency in a system. The performance of the system may require periodic review for improved productivity. This underscores the introduction of continuous assessment as a mechanism for performance evaluation in schools. This work establishes the rationale for the adoption of the scheme. Every scheme crafted by man has its own pitfalls. Continuous assessment has its’ own drawbacks too, which the work establishes. Be that as it may, there are high points. Thereafter, recommendations are made for improvement and sustainability.
