In this session, participants will receive an update on the latest developments in the IB Diploma, and the IB Career-related programme. Firstly, the latest trends in IB students' data will be presented. The IB's subject courses are subject to a planned cycle of review, and upcoming changes to the IB's courses in mathematics, English A, and Language B will be reviewed. In particular, mathematics is undergoing a very significant change, as the four separate courses currently offered will be replaced by two from September 2019, each combining Standard and Higher levels. The IB Career-related programme is developing strongly, and its role in bridging the academic/vocational divide, and supporting the wider skillset of students taking vocational and Applied General qualifications, such as BTEC, will be discussed.
