Moving Beyond Grades and Numbers

School leaders across the world are slowly moving away from report cards that only show grades. Edisapp School Automation ERP from Eloit helps schools adopt NEP-ready Holistic Progress Cards that recognise the whole child, not just test scores. With Edisapp, creating a Holistic Progress Card (HPC) becomes part of your regular school management system, instead of a stressful, last-minute paperwork exercise. This fits with the new goals set out in the NEP:

A Full View of Every Student

Marks tell a number. A child tells a story.

The Holistic Progress Card, aligned with the National Education Policy (NEP), helps schools turn raw data into meaningful insight. It understands that a student is much more than a rank or a percentage. A child is a reader, an artist, an athlete, a maker and a thinker.

The HPC goes further than a traditional report card. It captures how students grow over time – how they think, feel, create and contribute – making it a strong choice for schools looking for a NEP-compliant school ERP solution that truly supports holistic education as part of their school ERP system.

What Sets the Holistic Progress Card Apart?

The Holistic Progress Card is like a simple record of growth that you can hold in your hands. It reflects everyday moments as well as big milestones, including:

• A poem a student wrote in English
• A science model they created for an exhibition
• A quiet gesture of kindness towards a classmate
• The teamwork they showed during sports day

Teachers record their observations in straightforward language, students share their own reflections, and parents add their perspective. By the end of the year, you don’t just see a table of grades; you see a rounded picture of a learner, stored and managed through a reliable school information system instead of scattered files and folders. These domains closely follow:

The Five Parts of the Holistic Progress Card

A holistic report card looks beyond exam marks. It offers a fuller picture of who a student is and how they are growing in five key areas:

1. Physical Development – Growth in the Body

This area focuses on how the learner uses their body: how active they are, their healthy habits, strength, stamina and physical confidence in everyday movement, sports and play.

2. Socio-emotional Development – Social and Emotional Skills

This covers behaviour and emotions: self-control, self-confidence, emotional awareness, the ability to make friends, work in groups, cooperate and show empathy.

3. Cognitive Development – Development of the Mind

This includes thinking and learning skills: curiosity, problem-solving, number sense, logical reasoning and how well classroom learning is linked to real-life situations.

4.  Language and Literacy Development – Growth in Language and Reading

This reflects communication skills: listening, speaking, reading and writing, often in more than one language, and how comfortably the learner uses words to express ideas and understand information.

5. Aesthetic and Cultural Development – Growth in Culture and Aesthetics

This is where creativity and culture come in: drawing, music, dance, drama, crafts and participation in cultural events and traditions.

With Edisapp’s Holistic Progress Card module, schools using modern school ERP software can record, track and report on all five areas within a single school ERP platform.

Everyone’s Eyes on Growth: Teachers, Students and Parents Together

Learning is shared work. It involves teachers, students and parents.

The Holistic Progress Card brings all three together in one safe space, so that progress is noticed when it happens:

• A teacher quickly notes a key moment in class
• A student writes a short reflection after completing a project
• A parent shares a change they notice at home

Each of these entries fits into the HPC framework: teacher, peer, self and parent together they build a clear story of learning. Instead of searching through emails, notebooks and loose files, schools have one centralised student record where insights build over time and patterns become visible.

This leads to a clearer picture of each child, quicker action where help is needed and more meaningful conversations about the next steps. These dimensions closely correspond to:

More Teaching, Less Paperwork: Trusted by Teachers

Judging a student only by their marks is not just unfair; it is incomplete. Much of a child’s potential is hidden if we only look at exam sheets.

If a teacher has only mark sheets to rely on, they may never see a student’s real strengths and possibilities. A Holistic Report Card helps teachers see the whole child their skills, attitudes, values and growth rather than just their grades.

When this is supported by a smart school automation system like Edisapp:

• Teachers spend less time on formatting and more time on teaching
• Continuous assessment feels manageable instead of overwhelming
• Evidence of learning is collected throughout the year, not hastily at the end

This makes a big difference for schools that want school management software that saves both time and cost, while strengthening their school management system.

A Report Card That Looks Ahead

The Holistic Progress Card does more than record how a student is doing right now. It also shows who they are slowly becoming.

By pointing out a student’s strengths, interests and early passions, the HPC gives schools and families gentle hints about possible subjects, courses and career paths that may suit them in the future. In this way, the report card becomes a guide, not just a judgement.

For schools that want to prepare students for the future, this approach fits naturally with a modern school ERP system and a future-ready education strategy.
