Being Parent: Equal share of Thrill and Joy just like a ride to rollercoaster, PART II

ICSE will conduct Board Exam for Class V and VIII for the year 2018-2019: Impact on students Recently, Indian Certificate of Secondary Education (ICSE) council CEO Gerry Arathoon announced in Kolkata that the council will conduct the board exam for students of Class V and VIII.             Mr. Arathoon emphasized on the fact that no preparation for the exam is required separately, this is to basically assess students’ understanding of the subjects (Maths, English, Science and Social Studies) and the evaluation would be based on the academic aptitude of the students.
