Subject: 32nd National Annual Conference of Sahodaya School Complexes – 2026
The 32nd National Annual Conference of Sahodaya School Complexes, will be held on 17th and 18th December 2026 at the Baba Jitto Auditorium, Sher-e-Kashmir University of Agricultural Sciences and Technology (SKUAST), Jammu, in collaboration with the Jammu Sahodaya School Complex on the theme “Assessment: Empowering Globally Minded, Future-Ready Learners”.
The time has come for principals to move assessment from compliance to transformation. Principals must champion a shift from marks to learning, competencies and individual progress; empower teachers to use assessment to improve instruction; and build school cultures where every learner is challenged, supported and enabled to excel. The Conference will, thus, explore how competency- based assessment, meaningful feedback and evidence-informed teaching can nurture critical thinking, creativity, problem-solving, adaptability and global awareness.
Let us come together in Jammu to lead this change and make assessment a powerful instrument for nurturing learners who are rooted in Indian values, globally minded and future-ready.
Sub themes of the conference are:
- i. Competency-Based Assessment: Moving Beyond Rote Learning towards Holistic Evaluation
- ii. Assessment for Global Citizenship, Intercultural Competence and 21st Century Skills
- iii. Technology in Assessment: Opportunities, Challenges and Ethical Considerations
- iv. Inclusive and Equitable Assessment Practices for Diverse Learners
- v. Formative Assessment, Continuous Feedback and Socio-Emotional Learning
