City school gets global edge

THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: The Christ Nagar International School has been conferred ‘International Centre’ status by the University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE).

The school will now offer a range of internationally accepted qualifications including Cambridge’s International General Certificate of Secondary Education and Check point.

University of Cambridge International Examinations Chief Executive Ann Puntis, conferring the honour, said the centre would be of benefit to students in the region.

“We look forward to a long and productive relationship with the school,” Ms. Puntis said.

The status will enable the school to offer internationally renowned qualifications for students in India that would be recognised by educational institutions and employers across the globe, she added.

School Principal Mathews Chackalackal hoped that the association with Cambridge would enable the school to ‘extend its service and offer quality education to the local community.’

CIE is one of the world’s largest providers of international qualifications for 14-19 year olds.

The international entity offers a broad range of qualifications created for an international audience. CIE’s qualifications include Cambridge IGCSE and International A/AS level. CIE qualifications are accepted in nearly 150 countries and recognised by universities, educational providers and employers across the world. With a strong pedigree in development and research CIE was the first examination board to develop IGCSE nearly 20 years ago.
