IGCSE ORIENTATION
Education is not filling the mind with a lot of
facts. Perfecting the instrument and getting
complete mastery of my own mind
[is the ideal of education]
– Swami Vivekananda
• WHAT IS IGCSE?
• WHY IGCSE?
• HOW DO WE GO ABOUT IT?
THE IGCSE
PROGRAMME
• The International General Certificate
of Secondary Education (IGCSE) is an
academically rigorous, internationally used &
specialised English language curriculum
• Schools in about 160 countries offer this
programme
WHAT IS IGCSE?
• Cambridge IGCSE offers a flexible and stimulating
curriculum
• IGCSE helps improve performance by developing skills
in creative thinking, enquiry and problem solving.
• The syllabuses are international in outlook, but retain a
local relevance.
WHAT IS IGCSE?
• Encourages high academic standards through a practical approach to teaching and learning.
• Assessment is not limited to conventional written papers and they consist of a variety of tests; e.g. oral and listening tests.
• Most subjects offer a choice between core curriculum and extended curriculum.
WHY IGCSE?
• This gives students of all ability levels the freedom to
choose subjects that are right for them and, thereby, the
opportunity to score good grades.
WHY IGCSE?
IGCSE
The extended curriculum is
like a specialisation in that
subject. It is more challenging
and designed for students
who are expected to achieve
grades A+ to C.
The core curriculum is an
overview of the subject and is
suitable for students who are
expected to achieve grades
C to G.
