The Derozio Award is an annual prize awarded to the top Indian educationists by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations.[8][9] It was instituted in 1999 in memory of Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, a poet and educator from West Bengal. It is the highest award conferred by the council for contributions in the field of education.[10]

Curriculum

[edit | edit source]

The ICSE and ISC syllabi intend to incorporate comprehensive and application-based learning concepts. This board includes an extensive curriculum, particularly in English, which covers a range of literary works, including Shakespearean plays such as Julius Caesar and Macbeth and the George Bernard Shaw play Pygmalion.[11]

Subjects Offered

[edit | edit source]

"The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) offers a diverse curriculum across two major levels: the Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) for Class 10 and the Indian School Certificate (ISC) for Class 12.

At the ICSE level, students study core subjects such as English, a second language, History-Civics-Geography, Mathematics, and Science or Economics, along with a variety of elective options, including Computer Applications, Economic Applications, and Physical Education.

At the ISC level, students choose from three broad streams—Science, Commerce, and Humanities—with a range of subjects such as Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Accountancy, Business Studies, History, Political Science, Psychology, and more. Both curricula emphasize a well-rounded education, including language studies, social sciences, and applied learning.

For detailed subject lists and structures, refer to the individual pages for ICSE and ISC."
