Centre For Higher Secondary Education more commonly known as CHSE is a Government run Higher Secondary school in Malé, Maldives which caters only to "A" level students. CHSE was inaugurated under the name of Science Education Centre or SEC, with the aim of producing students qualified enough to enter universities abroad. It initially had 47 students and 4 teachers, and currently has over 1500 students and 90 teachers.[1]
History
Establishment of SEC
SEC was established on the 3rd July 1979 by the President of Maldives, His Excellency Maumoon Abdul Gayoom. The school started with just 47 students, with only 30 of them sitting the final examinations. Initially, the school taught Advanced Level Physics, Chemistry, Biology and English only. Economics and History were introduced the following year. Today, a wide range of Advanced Level subjects are taught at the institution.
In 2001, the name Science Education Centre was changed to Centre for Higher Secondary Education.[2]
School Houses
In 2004, four houses were introduced.[3] They are:
| Name of House |
Colour |
|---|---|
| Ranmuiy | Gold |
| Kuni falhoa | Red |
| Feeroz | Green |
| Asrafee | Purple |
Prior to 2004 the student body was divided into the following houses:[4]
- Quasar
- Pulsar
- Tensar
Examination Sessions
Prior to 2017, students sat their final examinations in June. In 2017, the Ministry of Education announced their they had reached an agreement with Pearson Edexcel to conduct the examinations during October/November. The minister asserted that this was done to ensure students do not get a long break between finishing their Ordinary Levels and starting their Advanced Levels. However, critics allege this is simply a cost cutting measure. Moreover, because of this change, some student cash-in one or two International Advanced Level subjects in the October session along with HSC subjects and complete their remaining Advanced Level subjects in the next examinations session in January. This involves significant risks to the students, primarily because most universities require students to achieve the target grades in one (A2) sitting and not across two different sittings.
Best All Round Students of CHSE
Presentation of the best all round student was done for the first time in 2001.[5] This prize is awarded to a student of grade 12 only. Students who fail to attend term end exams are not be eligible for this award. Expatriate students are also not eligible for this prize.
