The Derozio Award is an annual prize awarded to the top Indian educationists by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations.[7][8] It was instituted in 1999 in memory of Henry Louis Vivian Derozio, a poet and educator from West Bengal. It is the highest award conferred by the council for contributions in the field of education.[9]

Curriculum

[edit]

The ISCE and ICE syllabi intend to incorporate comprehensive and application-based learning concepts. This board includes an extensive curriculum, particularly in English, which covers a range of literary works, including Shakespearean plays such as The Merchant of Venice and The Tempest.[10] The English curriculum is divided into two examinations: English Language and Literature in English. The English Language examination tests a candidate's fundamentals in linguistic learning, including various questions in areas such as Essays, Directed Writings, Reading Comprehension and Basic Grammar Skills.[11]
