The Sivananda Centenary Boys’ High School, a noted school which has been successfully teaching students from Class VI to Class X in Odia medium under the BSE curriculum for the last 33 years, will switch over to English medium under the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) curriculum from 2017-18.
“Humans connect through languages. Therefore, our children should have control over the language of the country as well as the world at large. India is now on the global platform where the world is shirking at a fast pace. This being the backdrop, the school management has decided to prepare our students for a brighter and more successful future by switching over to English medium under CBSE Curriculum,” said Divine life Society International vice-president and school president Nirli0tananda Saraswati at a Press Conference on Saturday.
The school having adequate infrastructure on a sprawling 10 acres of land near Khandagiri will give admissions to boys in Class VI to VII under CBSE curriculum from the coming academic session. Those children studying in Class VI, VII and VIII under BSE curriculum now will be imparted education in English Medium from next classes. However, students studying in Class IX and Class X would appear for HSC Examination under the BSE Odisha, said the school president.
The students would appear for Matriculation Examination under the CBSE pattern from 2019-20 academic session, he said.
like Odia medium performances, the school, the name to remain unchanged, would also make students excel in the English medium, said Nirliptananda Saraswati.
