Teachers mould the lives that they influence. Lessons learned from teachers remain with their students throughout life. Teachers that break down barriers and reach into the souls of the students that they are responsible for do not get the recognition or gratitude they have earned. Many teachers are exhausted from their workload and responsibilities. They have their own families, financial and life stresses that challenge them along with everyone else. Teachers need encouragement and support from the community to feel that their devotion to students is appreciated. Alas, In India, teaching is not a favourite job or on the preference list of the class toppers as this profession is not perceived to be a highly paying one. Moreover, many students avoid their teachers once they pass the respective institution. We at CCS Services salute such teachers and for long, have been wanting to bring in a teacher – specific programme into India that would not only value add to the profile but also make them financially independent and stable. Hence, the name ICount which represents our great teachers of the society and proudly says that they count. What is AIA High School Diploma Programme?
The students in USA go through the High School Diploma programme when Indian students go through their 11th and 12th classes. Post these programs, students seek admission in the undergraduate programs. The concerns arise when Indian students apply for undergraduate programs in US universities and colleges. The credit scores of Indian education system is very different and not recognized by all the counterparts in US. Hence, for long Indian students have been giving TOEFL, IELTS, SAT, etc and other exams post they cross their 10+2 format education in India and many waste one year in this effort.
