The most popular IB programme in the UK is the Diploma Programme, which comprises six subject groups studied over two years. These groups are: languages and literature, language acquisition, individuals and societies, sciences, mathematics and the arts. Students tend to study three subjects at advanced level, and three at standard level. They also do a theory of knowledge component to develop critical thinking and a 4,000-word extended essay.
There is also an IB Career-related Programme for 16 to 18-year-olds, which gives an academic grounding with career-related study.
How many students take it every year?
The IB is offered by 5,300 schools in 158 countries worldwide and is studied by 1.4 million students. There are currently 130 IB World Schools in the UK, 60 per cent of which are in the independent sector, and most of which offer the Diploma Programme. About 4,500 students in the UK take the Diploma or Career-related Programme every year.
In 2017, a LinkedIn executive declared that people are now expected to change their careers 15 times in a lifetime. Twenty years ago it was considered to be five, yet the members of Generation X were mostly looking at a career for life.
Our Gen-Z students are therefore looking at stepping out of their educational journey into a future of job-hopping. While schools can set them up with a fount of subject knowledge, we cannot predict what expertise will be required for jobs that could be quite different in context and required expertise.
Schools need to adapt to this kind of future, yet unfortunately many are still stuck in a traditional approach, following a model that has been the same for decades. The range of offerings remains similar all the way to higher education, and changes in delivery or approaches to learning have not kept up fast enough with the evolving 21st century lifestyle.
