==Affiliations==
There are more than 12,644 schools affiliated to Kerala Board of Public examination out of which 4504 are government schools, 7277 are aided schools and 863 are unaided schools.<ref>{{Cite web |title=General Info - Kerala Legislature |url=http://www.niyamasabha.org/codes/ginfo_1.htm |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=www.niyamasabha.org}}</ref>

== Structure ==
The structure is divided into:
*[[kindergarten]] (LKG and UKG)
*LP (Primary School/Lower primary, classes/standard 1–5)
*UP (Middle School/upper primary, classes/standard 6–8)
*HS (High/ Secondary School, classes/standard 9–10)
*Higher Secondary ( 11- 12)

Usually, the whole system of KG, LP, UP and HS are collectively referred as High School. Students completing this complete course (12 years including KGs, which is optional* and otherwise 10 years of education) will be awarded with School Leaving Certificate, abbreviated as SSLC. Based on the results in SSLC, students are enrolled into Higher Secondary Education (HSE) which was previously known as pre-degree and was conducted in colleges.

Now, HSE is integrated to the school system and most educational institutions now offer classes from LKG to +2. Higher secondary offers a wide range of subjects according to the candidate's preference. After completing +2, students are awarded with a HSE certificate given by the Board of Higher Secondary Education, Kerala under [[Directorate of Higher Secondary Education|DHSE]] which is a passport to degree and similar courses.

==Grading ==

=== SSLC ===
The [[Secondary School Leaving Certificate|SSLC]] exam conducted at the end of Class 10 is based on a 9-point grading system ranging from A+ to E.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Kerala SSLC Exam Grading System Explained |url=https://www.ndtv.com/education/kerala-sslc-exam-grading-system-explained |access-date=2022-10-24 |website=NDTV.com |language=en}}</ref>
