Concessions to Children with
Special Needs
The Council is prepared to give special
consideration and make necessary arrangements in respect of candidates
who are handicapped in any way, which might affect their performance in
the ICSE (X) / ISC (XII) Examination.
When a candidate suffers some injury or
bereavement or dire unforeseen circumstance which may adversely affect
his or her performance in the examination, the Special Difficulty
procedure is used. A form is forwarded to the Council by the Head of the
candidates’ school and the candidates’ examination answer script is
then given special consideration by a committee before the issue of the
results. The Council’s committee does not give a "blanket" concession
but treats every case on its merit, for experience has shown that
candidates working under similar unusual stress are affected in widely
different ways. For this reason the Special Difficulty Form provides for
the performance of the affected candidate to be compared with that of
his/her other classmates.
