Academic System

Assessment & Progress

Evaluate regularly. Support every learner.

“Evaluation of students and teachers is a key to success in all educational processes.”

At Hira National Education Foundation, we have developed an academic system designed to bring out the best in our students and faculty.

Our system is continuously reviewed and updated according to the needs and challenges of the modern world. It emphasizes regular performance, continuous evaluation, academic progress and character development rather than relying solely on a single final examination.

The system encourages students to remain engaged throughout the academic year and enables teachers and schools to monitor progress, identify areas for improvement and provide timely support.

Academic Session

The academic session is divided into two terms:

Term 01

First Term

Term 02

Final Term

Throughout the academic year, students are evaluated through a combination of Mid Term Examinations, Term Examinations, Vacation Task and Behavior / Ethics evaluation. Regular class tests are also conducted as part of the continuous academic process.

Examination & Evaluation Structure

The annual result is based on a total of 300 marks:

Assessment components and aggregate marks
Assessment Component	Aggregate Marks
1st Mid Term Examination	30
1st Term Examination	70
2nd Mid Term Examination	30
Final Examination	70
Vacation Tasks	50
Behavior / Ethics	50
Total	300

In addition to these components, regular class tests are conducted as part of the continuous academic process.

Continuous Evaluation

Our system gives importance to consistent performance throughout the year. The two Mid Term Examinations provide opportunities to monitor progress between the major Term Examinations.

The 1st Term Examination and Final Examination provide broader assessments of learning and achievement. This structure helps students to:

Maintain regular effortStay engaged with learning throughout the academic session.

Identify learning gapsNotice areas for support at an earlier stage.

Improve progressivelyUse feedback to strengthen performance over time.

Build study habitsDevelop routines that support steady learning.

Stay engagedKeep academic work moving across the school year.

Prepare systematicallyApproach major examinations with preparation over time.

Vacation Task

Learning continues beyond the classroom.

50marks

Structured learning over the summer break

The Vacation Task carries 50 marks and gives students an opportunity to continue learning during the summer break through structured academic activities.

It encourages students to develop:

Independent learning
Creativity
Application of knowledge
Responsibility
Regular study habits

The Vacation Task forms an important part of the overall academic evaluation.

Behavior / Ethics

Character is part of education.

50marks

Character alongside achievement

At Hira, academic achievement alone does not represent complete education. A student's conduct, discipline, responsibility and ethical behavior are important aspects of personal development.

Behavior / Ethics carries 50 marks in the annual evaluation and encourages students to develop positive qualities such as:

Discipline
Respect
Honesty and integrity
Responsibility
Cooperation
Punctuality
Self-control
Respect for teachers, peers and school property

Behavior / Ethics marks may be adjusted according to the student's conduct. Negative marking may affect the overall result where applicable.

Through this approach, character building becomes an integral part of the educational process rather than something separate from academic achievement.

Final Result & Promotion

The student's final result is determined by the aggregate marks obtained from all assessment components out of 300 marks. The system recognizes performance across the entire academic session rather than depending on a single examination. Individual student positions are determined on the basis of the final aggregate.

For promotion to the next class, a student must:

3+ subjectsPass at least three compulsory subjects.

50% or moreObtain at least 50% of the total marks.

Our Educational Approach

The Hira Academic System is built around a simple principle:

Evaluate Regularly. Identify Early.
Improve Continuously. Develop Completely.

Academic Achievement+Continuous Evaluation+Independent Learning+Character & Ethics+Teacher Accountability

The purpose of assessment at Hira is not merely to produce marks or positions. It is to understand progress, encourage consistent effort, strengthen learning and contribute to the development of responsible, well-rounded individuals. Success is measured not only by what a student achieves in an examination, but also by the character with which that achievement is pursued.
