Evolution of School Education and the Emergence of International School as Top School in Kolkata and entire India
Once upon a time, school education was limited mainly to classrooms, books, black boards and written exams. Teaching in school classrooms was predominantly a one- way communication route, rote learning was considered the best way for students to internalize what they learnt and having a great memory was key to doing well in the exams. Teachers and students were content with a learning system that was largely unidimensional, unilingual or at the most bilingual and stunted with multiple cultural barriers.
School education perspective shifted with rise of globalization
A radical shift in education happened with the advent of globalization. Phenomenal advancement of technology led to a dynamic compression of space and time that brought nations, cultures and economies across the world closer to one another. This change in the global cultural ethos had a huge impact on human interaction, understanding, thought exchange, business paradigms and international job opportunities that eventually led to the liberalization of education.
Emergence of International School as Top School in Kolkata
The practice of teaching international curriculum in schools started in the latter half of the twentieth century to bridge the gaps in education as a result of globalization. The trend started with countries like Japan, Turkey and Switzerland where international schools were set up and families with children relocated to foreign nations to avail the benefits of international school education.
Around this time, University of Cambridge International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) gained a strong presence as one of the most popular international curriculums for children between 14-16 years in India and abroad. It was evident from the steep rise in the worldwide entries for the IGCSE examination sessions conducted in India.
A gateway to global learning communities
One of the foremost advantages of introducing international curriculum in Indian schools was opening up of learning avenues that allowed children to become global citizens by giving a well-rounded education system with immersion in multi-lingual and multicultural education framework. It unplugged new, creative and lucrative education and career opportunities for students. Schools offering advanced international curriculum like IGSCE (for students till Class 10) and A Level Certifications (for students of Class- 11 & 12) committed to develop among students internationalism by providing optimal learning environment to fosters wider understanding, collaboration, exchange of ideas and learning integration from a very young age.
Learning-edge provided by The Cambridge School (TCS)
TCS is the first school in Kolkata registered with Cambridge Assessment International Education and a pioneer in holding international board exams in its own premises. The school welcomes diversity and focuses on developing creativity, reflection, engagement, expression, application and critical thinking skills among students. The teachers are dedicated and trained to bring out the best in students by inculcating a sense of responsibility, values and ethics that go hand in hand with assimilation of theoretical and practical knowledge. In The Cambridge School, we ensure students learn to balance knowledge and skill by developing their ability to think, understand, and interpret concepts along with writing, speaking and expressing their multi-faceted creative talents.
