University of Cambridge International Examinations, an
international school board that tests 14 to 19-year-olds, said it has added
three schools to the over 200 schools in India affiliated to this board. Two of
the new schools on its list are in Mumbai, the Sanjivani International School
in Navi Mumbai and Billabong High School in Juhu, while a third is Daffodils
International School in Pune. With the boom in education, international school
curricula and boards are gaining ground in India, though the state-run Central
Board of Secondary Education or CBSE, which recently introduced problems of
higher-order thinking in its tests, also claims it is adding schools to its
flock.
