Yes! That’s right , IGCSE is a brilliant curriculum.
GCSEs are a wonderful and fruitful opportunity for students, the focus is on:
1. Knowlege & Understanding
2. Application
3. Analysis
4. Evaluation
All these four assessment objectives stimulate practical thinking, improve decision making power under the given circumstances, unlike the Indian Education Curriculum where the students are graded on their retention skills. Memorise. Write. Memorise. Write. That's it.
IGCSE encourages students to think out of the box, develop their thinking to give a value judgement (evaluation) with the qualities of knowledge and understanding of the subject, incorporate that knowledge with the situation (application) and then analyse to give their point of view (applies to commerce-related subjects).
IGCSE International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an academically rigorous, internationally used, specialized, English language curriculum which is offered to students to prepare them for International Baccalaureate and CIE A-level.
Examination Pattern
• Cambridge Primary, typically for learners aged 5 to 11 years
• Cambridge Secondary 1
• Cambridge Secondary 2 is typically for learners aged 14 to 16 years. It offers learners two routes: Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge O Level.
• Cambridge Advanced is typically for learners aged 16 to 19 years who need advanced study to prepare for university and higher education. It offers learners two routes: Cambridge International AS and A Level, and Cambridge Pre-U.
IB International Baccalaureate (IB), formerly the International Baccalaureate Organization (IBO), is an international educational foundation headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland and founded in 1968
Examination Pattern: It offers 3 educational programs, namely
• PYP or Primary year program for KG to Class-5
• MYP or Middle year program for Class-6 to Class-10
• DP or Diploma program for Class-11 and Class-12
IB and IGCSE have an excellent international reputation which eclipse that of the rest.
one of the major ingredient of IB and IGCSE boards is balance. The knowledge is imparted upon the students such that every student is the epitome of intellectual, personal, and social balance so that he/she can trump any obstacle that might come their way.
IGCSE or IB do not follow the traditional method of going through word by word of the textbook rather they let their students explore all the resources and decide for themselves which material suits them the best . That is why IB prescribes no set textbook from which the child must gobble up the information.
IB and IGCSE surpass the subject limitation | Offering over 70 subjects, IGCSEs are taken in over 120 countries |
Group 1: Languages
Group 2: Humanities and Social Sciences
Group 3: Sciences
Group 4: Mathematics
Group 5: Creative, Technical & Vocational
I have personally taught the IGCS students and I will say that just knowing the textbook inside out is not enough to score in the IGCSE exams, because the papers have been made to test your understanding of the subject by asking many practical application questions pertaining to your subject. Furthermore, extra reading is compulsory if one wishes to score very high marks in their IGCSEs. Lastly, I would like to emphasis that after finishing IGCSEs it would be hard but not impossible for one to switch to national curriculum, as the teaching methadologies are vastly different. Thus, it is advised that you take the IGCSE exam if you want to study abroad in the future, but if you envision yourself remaining in your own country in the future, it is suggested that you enroll in a national curriculum.
