Indian education system

Indian states have the authority to decide the policies and implementing it regarding to the education. The government of India has limited authority to decide the standard of higher education. But this was renewed after 1976so there was a change in constitutional amendment policies and programs in the national level of the government of India thought the state government have the liberty to implement these programs.

The school level in India is divided into 4 levels:

1) Lower primary of 1 to 5^th class aging from 6 to 10 years.

2) Upper primary of  6 to 7^th class aging from 11 to 12 years.

3) Highschool of 8 to 10^th class aging from 13 to 15 years.

4) High secondary of 11 to 12^th class aging from 17 to 18 years.

There are probably three streams in institutional education in India of which two are coordinated with national level and one with an important Central Board of Secondary Board of Education (CBSE) for the children of central government employees who're transferred and may have to shift from one place to a different within the country. Under this all the schools follow textbooks written and published by NCRERT, and the CBSE  syllabus is followed by private schools in the country, different text books are followed by those schools and they follow different schedules. Second central scheme of education is the Indian certificate of secondary education (ICSE). This used to be started a replacement for  The Cambridge school certificates. Both CBSE and ICSE conduct their possess examination throughout  the country. State schools,Each state in the country has its possess division of schooling that has its own tuition procedure with its own textbooks and analysis techniques. The curriculum, pedagogy and analysis method are generally determined with the aid of the SCERT in the state, following the country wide directions prescribed with the aid of NCERT. The state government functions  schools by its own land and resourses and by making payments to staff by possess resources. These are customarily referred to as Government schools.
