In A bid to provide quality education to underprivileged kids, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) will offer ICSE (Indian Certificate of Secondary Education) curriculum in its schools from the next academic year. The plan also involves collaborating with CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) and MIEB (Maharashtra International Education Board) to offer these curricula. But experts are questioning the objective behind the move that is to be executed by the next academic year, because they say curriculum is not the reason keeping children from BMC schools. They say it is quality and administrative reasons.

BMC plans to start the curricula in its schools that have shut due to lack of students, but the number has not yet been decided.
