Do read the advice and guidance provided by experts here. Since 1st to 7th standard he was in IG Board. As we had to shift our residence we shifted the school and also the curriculum. But unfortunately my son is not able to pick up the ICSE curriculum as it is quite lengthy and very tough on his part. We are very confused and are planning to shift him to SSC Board. I do not know whether I am taking this decision correctly or should I wait for 1 crucial year till 9th Std.

I would really appreciate if can help us to solve this problem of ours and guide us as to what to do ahead of this. It's been really frustrating to see our kid struggling to get good marks which previously he never had to.

He is always stuck between school tuition classes etc. He never gets any free time for himself. Can you advice? Points: 2. As far as it makes no much difference.

The student should be able to follow the subject and should be able to get a good score. Generally, Stata Syllabus is a little easy to follow and understand. Once the candidate understands the subject, he can score well. You need not hesitate and even you need not wait for a year. You can go ahead and put him in SSC. The important aspect is please follow him how is studying and provide him suitable guidance so that he can do better. Thanks a lot for the response. He studies well, but only forgets it at the time of exams.

We have given him the best guidance we can give, but as also I am worried about his learning part. Will the SSC syllabus might help as it's little less that's compared to icse? Please guide. Thanks once again. Points: 5. You have mentioned that there has been a change from IG board to ICSE IG board means, getting the student educated via the International General secondary education curriculum so they are ready for the International Baccalaureate system. Here the focus is on stress free education, the development of the student as a whole rather than the performance in the subjects.

I'm not saying IG is inferior but the way knowledge is imparted and gained is different. The syllabus is difficult and he has to cope up with new teachers, new friends, new system of learning. I would suggest you to have a chat with the class teacher or the principal and see if you can find a way to improve the focus on him at the school.

It would be worthwhile giving him one more year's time in IX standard. Thanks a lot Mr. I already have set a meeting with the class teacher. Also spoken with his prev. All major cities have CBSE schools, hence easy to move around in the country. The curriculum is very good when it comes to general knowledge and general subjects. It allows the kids to experience subjects without going deep into them thus helping them to choose the focus after Xth.

The schools also focus a lot on extracurricular activities Most of which are compulsory thus assuring an overall growth of the child. One disadvantage is the length of the syllabus.

It has vast syllabus. The ICSE board follows the basics strengthening syllabus. Even questions are based on the basics. This makes the basics of the topic very strong. This helps the student a lot of confidence when higher studies are involved.

As his basics are very strong, half the job is done. There is lot of focus on language and literature. So good for kids wanting to make a career which involves writing, reading, talking, debating, arguing, surveying, historians, geologist etc.
