The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) will introduce a new assessment for children of class five and eight students in its curriculum to enable them to think creatively. When news first came of board exams in Class 5 and 8 in CISCE schools, many thought it was fake. But disbelief of parents and students turned to horror with the confirmation that from 2018, CISCE will take board exams in Class 5 and 8 as well as 10.
