Indian schools across the country follow different types of educational boards to govern their curriculum and examinations. While some schools adopt a central board system governed by the union government, the majority of schools in different states are administered by native state educational boards supervised under state governments. We often hear people comparing the boards for their prospectus, examination patterns, facilities, and most importantly fees structure. It is important for parents and as an individual to know some significant benefits of SSC board in order to make the right choice of school for students.

Maharashtra State Board is a statutory and autonomous body established under the Maharashtra Secondary Boards Act. It is the most widely held education board in terms of matriculation after the CBSE. The board is accountable for the development & execution of the rules and regulations in accordance with the guidelines set by the state and union agencies. Across Maharashtra, the SSC board is further divided into nine divisional boards, Latur being one of them. SSC board offers quite favorable advantages over the other educational boards in the country. Let’s look at them sequentially.

 Education has become an expensive endeavor with the turn of the century and thus large chunk of the population remains deprived of it. State boards offer quality education at the most affordable fees accommodating wide sections of the society,
including the marginalized communities. Many government and private schools implement SSC curriculum to provide an equal opportunity of education to students having a varying range of learning abilities.

 SSC board is authorized to personalize its curriculum to include teachings about native history and culture in the state language. Local language helps students to learn and understand fundamental concepts more clearly and precisely, offering a sense of belonging and encouraging them to pursue knowledge by choice rather than by force.

 The state board incorporates extensive subjects to equip students with knowledge from various streams and domains. Its syllabus is designed to learn multiple languages, training scholars for not only the local but also the global competition.

 It is observed that the SSC board maintains the optimum level of difficulty in their curriculum and examinations for students to learn as per their aptitude without feeling unnecessary pressure. The design allows students to dedicate their time appropriately in areas other than studies such as extra-curricular activities, sports, hobbies, etc.

Maharashtra Board also distributes extra marks to encourage students to take up sports and special competitions.
 It is to be noted that higher secondary colleges and universities in some states, particularly Maharashtra, reserve 90% of their seats for the state board students and only 10% for non-state students. This is a very important benefit of the SSC board.

 The state board has the provision to award several scholarships for the domicile students of the state. These scholarships provide great financial aid to estimable and underprivileged students to pursue higher studies or graduation programs.

 The students passing out from schools with the SSC board earn an extra edge to compete in state civil services exams and serve in state bodies through government jobs due to their familiarity and knowledge about local geography, culture, and people.
