International
General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE)
The
International General Certificate of Secondary Education
(IGCSE) has been designed for 14 to 16 year olds. It is
equivalent in standard to the British GCSE and is recognised
as evidence of ability by academic institutions and employers
all over the world. IGCSE provides a broad study programme
by drawing subjects from five areas: Languages, Humanities,
Social Sciences, Mathematics, Creative, Technical and
Vocational. Within the curriculum there is a balanced
mix of practical experience and theoretical knowledge.
With a choice of core and extended papers in most subjects,
the IGCSE is suitable for students with different levels
of ability. The IGCSE is an internally based curriculum
allowing teaching to be placed in a localised context,
making it relevant in different regions.
Students undertake a programme of eight subjects and the
choice of subjects offered at Sarala Birla Academy will
include:

syllabi demand the ability to recall basic information
and principles, but higher skills need to be developed
such as problem solving and application of knowledge and
understanding.
