JEDDAH — A workshop on Continuous Cumulative Evaluation (CCE), an education system in India, was organized Thursday in the auditorium of International Indian School, Jeddah (IISJ) girls’ section.

The workshop was inaugurated by school principal Syed Masood Ahmed of IISJ and the Chapter Convener of the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) affiliated schools in the Kingdom.

Around 30 participants from eight CBSE affiliated schools in the Western Province attended the workshop.
