ADVANTAGES OF IGCSE

All Universities and Boards in India and abroad recognise the

IGCSE/‘O’ Level programme.

Students are assessed in a variety of ways in a subject so that one

exam does not hold the future of a child.

Doing subjects across subject groups exposes a student to an all-

round education which is essential and is begun in the middle

school .07 FEBRUARY 2012 IGCSE/O LEVEL PROGRAMME 10
