TCS, Guwahati has sought
affiliation to Cambridge International Examinations, U.K. Such an
affiliation will enable its students to sit for the University of
Cambridge international
‘O’ and
‘A’ level examinations.
The 800-year-old
University of Cambridge, U.K., is among the most hallowed educational
institutions in the world. Among the top five global universities by
any measure it has produced 85 Nobel Laureates till date. Its
distinguished alumni include Isaac Newton, Niels Bohr, Bertrand
Russell, Ernest Rutherford, Abdus Salam, Subramaniam Chandrashekar and
Amartya Sen among many others.
The Cambridge System is
aimed at uncovering the full potential of the student through a
combination of guidance and freedom. Children are encouraged to
develop a love for knowledge by making learning fun. Once the basics
have been mastered, it provides a variety of options to allow students
to pursue their interests and focus on their strengths. Advanced (‘A’
Level) qualification, in particular, allows for in-depth
specialisation. The system successfully achieves a balance between
knowledge and skill, and promotes critical thinking, independent
learning and global awareness. A number of Cambridge-affiliated schools exist
across India.
