Accepted Answer

C. Foster an environment where learning is seen as a continuous process, not just exam-centric. — CCE promotes a holistic view of education, emphasizing ongoing assessment and development beyond just final exams. It encourages continuous learning, reduces exam stress, and integrates various aspects of a child's personality into the evaluation, moving away from a purely exam-driven culture.

While some standardization might occur, its primary advantage is pedagogical and student-centric.
