At present, the four primary education boards in India are the IB, CBSE, ICSE, and the State Board, respectively. However, the educational boards in India are very modern and quite insightful regarding fulfilling quality education for students. As a parent, all one wants for their child is to receive the best education and continuous growth. A school is a foundation of learning; thus, choosing the best one for your child is essential.
As a parent, it is also crucial that you understand the importance of amenities and facilities being offered in a school. Amenities provided by a school directly affect the students' behaviour, health, learning, engagement, and growth. Irrespective of the board, a school needs to ensure a well-rounded curriculum and amenities for a child’s overall development. Following is a list of points to look for as a parent when it comes to the facilities being provided by a school:
Looking at the world's evolving pace, we do not know what the world will look like once the children graduate. Regardless of the board, children need to be taught to keep an open mind, always be ready for challenges, and come up with real-world practical resolutions. In such a scenario, we must ensure the school is committed to developing well-rounded, future-ready individuals.
Can you switch boards in between? - It is vital that parents keep track of their child’s overall performance in a particular school. If a child faces challenges or wants to try something different that is more in tune with their interests or passion, they can always switch to a different board. Students can switch boards in any grade. However, the ideal time for parents to start contemplating on the boards would be between Grade 5 to Grade 8. Prior to Grade 5, the focus will be on understanding his/her interests and adequate school amenities and facilities to ensure the overall development of the child. Once he/she is in Grade 8 continuing with the same board is advisable. |
