Continuous Assessment Will Do Us Good

 It is based on the fact that no child is born with inability status or condition. Therefore, it is just a matter of nurturing and developing one’s abilities for them to play a meaningful role in the society. Since Multiple Pathway implementation is nigh, I want to submit my view on the type of assessment that I believe will serve us well in that regard.

Continuous Assessment (CA) is a form of educational examination that evaluates a student’s progress throughout a prescribed course (Wikipedia, October 2018). It is often used as an alternative to the final examination system. For most subjects, the current assessment approach in Botswana basic education is such that only the final examination has some bearing on the overall grading of a student.
