The '''Goa Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (GBSHSE)''' is a corporate [[statutory body]] established by the [[Goa Legislative Assembly|state legislature]] through the [[Act of Parliament|enactment]] of the "Goa, Daman and Diu Secondary and Higher Secondary Education Board Act, 1975" (Act No. 13 of 1975) on 27 May 1975. This act grants the board a corporate status and statutory authority to oversee [[Education in Goa|secondary and higher secondary education in the state]].

The Board administers examinations for two levels of education: [[Tenth grade|Standard X]] and [[Standard XII]]. These exams take place in the months of March and June. The Board is responsible for addressing confidential and time-critical issues, which restricts its ability to have direct interactions with individuals. As a result, the Board primarily engages and communicates with institutions on a regular basis.<ref name=":0" />

In addition to its primary responsibilities, the Board periodically undertakes initiatives to enhance the education system and provides recommendations to the [[Government of Goa|state government]] when deemed appropriate.
