In today’s education system, teaching is no longer just about delivering information — it’s about ensuring every child truly understands and applies what they learn. Traditional exams often assess what a student has learnt only at the end of the semesters, leaving little room for improvement along the way. That’s where formative assessment comes in. It’s a process of continuously checking student understanding during lessons, giving teachers real-time insights to adapt and improve learning outcomes.
But while formative assessment is powerful, implementing it effectively can be challenging. This is where Class Saathi, a smart classroom solution, makes a difference — by simplifying and scaling formative assessment for every classroom.
