In addition, the Board prepares detailed syllabi for each standard within the secondary and higher secondary education system, providing a comprehensive framework for teaching and learning. [4]
Moreover, the Board advises the government on the standard requirements for staff, buildings, furniture, equipment, stationery, and other necessary amenities in secondary and higher secondary schools. This guidance aims to create an environment conducive to effective teaching and learning. [4]
To support the educational process, the Board is authorized to prescribe and develop textbooks for all levels of secondary and higher secondary education. This ensures that students have access to appropriate and high-quality learning materials that align with the established curricula and syllabi. [4]
Additionally, the Board sets the conditions for admission to the final examinations for both regular and private candidates. These conditions are designed to maintain the integrity and fairness of the examination process. [4]
