School Policy/2017 Page 1
Ugyentse Primary School
Ugyentse Primary School which is also called as Nainital Primary School is one
of the oldest schools in the southern Dzongkhag. The school is located at the
centre of the gewog which attracts children from all the villages. It is accessible
to motor road and has an area of 4.47 acres. It is established in 1951 by the
community of Ugyentse (Nainital). The following individuals were actively
involved in the establishment of the school.
1. Mr. Narbir Khadka
2. Mr. Dambar Singh Dahal
3. Mr. Kantinath Sharma
4. Mr. Bhakta Bir Tamang
5. Mr. N.K Gurung
6. Mr. Bhakta Bahadur Pradhan
They made a thatched hut in the middle of the present football ground for the
purpose of office and classroom. Initially, the school did not have a teacher.
However,the community managed to request Mr B.K Thapa, the ex-
Thrimpoen. He became the first teacher of the school with 12 children. He was
paid a meager sum of Nu. 24 per month as a salary. He was replaced by Mr
Bhandari Chettri after six years, who worked from 1957 to 1958.
Subsequently, Mr. M.B Thapa took over the charge who was accompanied by
an Indian teacher. He brought a lot of changes in the school. He ran the school
very smoothly for many years and introduced many extracurricular activities.
The children contributed teachers’ salary which amounted Nu. 60 per month.
From 1964, the government took over the charge and the community benefited
a lot because there were plenty of resources.
The following are the Principals of the school till date.

Assessment & Examinations:
The primary purpose of assessment is to improve student learning as well as improve teaching
practices. Assessment is the purposeful, systematic and ongoing collection of evidence for use in
making judgment about student’s demonstrations of learning and teaching process.
The assessment techniques should be selected to best suit the context in which the learning is being
demonstrated and the type of evidence required. The evidence gathered should be relevant to the
learning being assessed and be collected in a focused and systematic way.
Every teacher is expected to keep the records of children’s learning progress through
continuous/on-going assessment or monthly/Unit/block test. Careful checking of home works
with proper feedbacks is expected from all the teachers as our usual duty. If any confusion is
encountered in teaching the topic by any one of us, he/she should maintain proper record to
be digested during the SBIP, or immediately consult with senior teachers/principal. Evaluated
annual examination papers should be preserved at least for two years for evidence, in case
parents object about the results.
1. Continuous Assessment ( CA) : The continuous assessment is an assessment of students’
learning that is carried out throughout the academic year involving a variety of organized
both formal and informal learning activities to facilitate quality teaching and learning in
schools.
The continuous assessment should be:
Be continuous throughout the year.
Provide individual children with verbal and written feedback on the academic
progress in the subject area.
Be aimed for further comprehension and mastery of skills by the children.
Provide the teacher with feedback for improvement of teaching.
Provide the curriculum developers with feedback for further improvement of the
curriculum.
2. Diagnostic Assessment: It enables teachers to discover what students know and can do. It is
also used to target difficulties that students may be having, to determine their precise nature
and scope, and to plan to further learning activities designed to meet the needs of those
School Policy/2017 Page 17
Ugyentse Primary School
students. This can be done in a range of ways, from carefully prepared tests to simple
questions and answers involving an individual student in the classroom.
3. Formative assessment: It is an integral part of the teaching and learning process. It is used
to provide the students with feedback to enhance learning and to help the teacher understand
students’ learning. It helps build a picture of a student’s progress, and inform decisions about
the next steps in teaching and learning. It can take a variety of forms, such as verbal or written
comments on a presentation, conferencing or interviews, observations, or the analysis of test
result. For uniform correction the teachers are advised to use the symbols like “circle for
spelling error” & “underlined for grammar error”.
4. Summative Assessment: It is usually carried out at the end of a block of study to provide an
indication of student’s achievements. This is generally a more structured activity than
formative assessment.

Why do we give homework?
To reinforce/consolidate what the child has learned during the day.
To provide a link between teacher and parent.
To keep parents up to date on how their child is progressing.
School Policy/2017 Page 19
Ugyentse Primary School
To develop the child’s competency based skills and work ethic.
To develop the child’s ability to work independently.
How often is homework given?
Home work from one subject is given daily for class III to VI as shown in table below.

Tuesday Mathematics English English Social Studies
Wednesday Dzongkha Mathematics Dzongkha English

Friday Mathematics Social Studies Science Dzongkha
What is the content of homework?
Usually homework will contain a balance between reading tasks, written tasks and learning tasks. This balance is not always possible and may vary from day to day. However it should be noted that homework time devoted to reading and learning is as important as written work.
Depending on class level, homework may regularly contain reading, spellings, tables, written work, pieces to be “learned by heart”, drawing, colouring, collecting information and finishing work started in class. Children often feel that reading and “learning by heart” is not real homework. Parents can play an important role in listening to reading and items to be memorized in order to ensure that this work is done well.
The following are general guidelines only:
The average time allotted for home-work for different classes.3rd & 4th Class: 30 – 45 minutes
5th & 6th Class: 45 – 60 minutes
Pupils should:
School Policy/2017 Page 20
Ugyentse Primary School
Ensure that they take home relevant books and copies.
Complete the homework assigned to the best of their ability.
Neatly completed assignments presentation is mandatory.
Parents/Guardians should:
Encourage a positive attitude towards homework in all subjects from an early age.
Encourage children to work independently as far as possible. Ideally children should be able to complete all home works, as it will have been set at a level suitable to their ability. If the child is having difficulty one can help by providing further explanation or examples, instead of doing the homework for the child. Resist over helping.
Encourage children to organize themselves for homework. Have all books and materials in hand.
Create a suitable time for doing homework, taking into account of age, need for playtime, relaxation and family time.
Provide a quiet place, suitable work surface, free from distractions, interruptions, technology and TV.
Listen to reading, spellings, tables, memorized work etc.
Check that all homework is completed.
Check all homework whether it has been completed, signs the child’s diary and, if possible, listens to the child read or recites a memorized piece of work.
Communicate difficulties to the teacher if needs be. If you find that your child is spending too long on their homework or does not understand some aspect of homework, ask them to stop and send a note to the class teacher explaining the difficulty.
Teachers should:
Set homework, review assignments and provide feedback to pupils.
Monitor homework to help identify pupils with specific difficulties.
Re-checking system should be established among teachers. As many times as redo is given, so many times rechecking should be done by subject teachers.
What happens when homework is not done?
When homework is not completed, the child may have to do it that very evening along with the current day’s homework. If homework is not completed on the regular basis, the teacher should contact parents with a view to resolving the situation. If the situation continues, then the matter will be brought to the attention of the Academic head or Principal.
NON-ACADEMIC
School Policy/2017 Page 21
Ugyentse Primary School
Pastoral care
Senior students(in age) should help the younger in dressing properly in the school or in any
ways they can and always share love and care to each other. Teachers should be always alert
to predict weather condition like expecting thunderstorms or bad weather. If there is any
indication of dangerous weather, children should be sent home earlier than usual time so as to
reach home safely. TOD should manage to instruct senior children to guide younger ones on
the way to home. Teachers should encourage Village Groups to walk home together, with
appointed leader within the group.
Child adoption policy
