The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE)[2] is a non-governmental privately held national-level[3][4] board of school education in India that conducts the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) Examination for Class X and the Indian School Certificate (ISC) for Class XII.[5] G.

History

[edit]

It was established in 1958.[6] Over 2750 schools in India and abroad are affiliated to the CISCE.[3] It is also recognized as a 'Non-Governmental National Board of Secondary Education'.[7] CISCE conducts ICSE exam for Class 10 and ISC exam for Class 12.

Derozio Award

[edit]

The Derozio Award is an annual prize awarded to the top Indian educationists by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations.[8][9] It was instituted in 1999 in memory of Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, a poet and educator from West Bengal. It is the highest award conferred by the council for contributions in the field of education.[10]

Curriculum

[edit]

The ICSE and ISC syllabi intend to incorporate comprehensive and application-based learning concepts. This board includes an extensive curriculum, particularly in English, which covers a range of literary works, including Shakespearean plays such as Julius Caesar and Macbeth and the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion.[11]
