Examination board

Examination board is an academic department that designs and administers exams, curricula, student performance, and grants academic or vocational degrees. It is primarily used to provide a standardized and fair, and generally accepted measure to educational institutions.

There are several examination boards that operate internationally; a few are as follows:

 Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE) is an organization based in the University of Cambridge in England. It awards international credentials such as Cambridge IGCSE, O Level, AS Level, and A Level, which are widely applied in several schools in different countries.

 Pearson Edexcel, a Pearson (PLC) subsidiary in London, is a provider of academic qualifications such as GCSEs, International GCSEs, and A Levels. They are applied in the United Kingdom and other parts of the world.

 The International Baccalaureate is based in Geneva, Switzerland. Its flagship IB Diploma Programme is focused on critical thinking and international education, and its qualifications are accepted by global universities.
