The International General Certificate of Secondary Education, or IGCSE, is a globally recognized qualification for students typically aged 14 to 16. It is offered by various examination boards, including Cambridge Assessment International Education and Edexcel. The IGCSE curriculum covers a wide range of subjects, allowing students to choose courses that align with their interests and future educational goals. IGCSE assessments are conducted through a combination of written exams, coursework, and practical assessments. Successful completion of the IGCSE can lead to further education opportunities, such as A Levels or International Baccalaureate, and is often a requirement for university admission in many countries.
