Assessment of the educational attainment of students 2014, para. 75
Paragraph
Paragraph text
In this context, the State of Gujarat in India is exemplary in taking steps towards abolishing the conventional "character" certificate, systematically delivered to all students at the end of primary or secondary education, and replacing it with an "aptitude" certificate, which shows the aptitude of students as appraised by teachers, parents and students themselves, allowing them to pursue secondary or higher education. This has the inherent advantage of motivating students to pursue studies based on their aptitude.
