The Secondary School Certificate (SSC) is an academic qualification awarded to students upon completing their secondary education, typically around the age of 16. It is a crucial milestone in many educational systems, serving as a foundation for further studies or vocational training. The SSC is often recognized by educational institutions and employers as proof of a student's knowledge and skills. In many countries, the SSC is part of a standardized examination system, where students take a series of subjects, including Mathematics, Science, and Language Arts. Successful completion of the SSC allows students to pursue higher education, such as Higher Secondary Certificate (HSC) or A-levels, or enter the workforce.
