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
