No class 10th board exam as optional, ICSE Board
The ICSE board is not going to make the Class 10 board exams optional for its students, the board’s additional secretary and chief executive officer, Gerry Arathoon, said on Wednesday on the sidelines of a conference of ICSE principals. “It’s a big no,” said Arathoon. “A student must get the feel of what a board exam is, it’s a preparation for the Class 12 board exam. If they perform badly then, then entry into university will be a problem.”
