Introduction
'IB' is the short form for International Baccalaureate. Earlier it was known as International Baccalaureate Organisation and was started in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland.
The schools are offering three educational programmes for children of age group 3-19.What is its aim ?
The organisation aims to develop knowledgeable and talented youngsters thereby creating a peaceful and prosperous society. This system is a strict opposition to the presently employed system that students no longer heed to.
They aim at abolishing the bad image and the disinterest in schools from the minds of students. By removing rigorous assessments and the hectic curriculum being followed. The present system is like a heavy burden on the shoulders of students. The organisation aims at generating highly skilled students by creating an atmosphere that focusses on the futuristic work of the masses and leads them into living a fruitful life in the field of their interest.What is the difference ?
A student today feels fed up of the education system, he is so stressed out due to the complete focus that is given to the fake learning or in clear words cramming up of pages of books just to achieve high scores. There is high pressure from the parents' side as well as from the teachers. This methodology has no role at all to play in field work.
We see many hardworking students fail when it comes to the practical application of their theoretical knowledge gained in schools.
By introducing a wider view of studying with innovation and interest, IB Schools promise high levels of productivity. They aim to gift the society, life-long learners and better working people.Feedback of Society on these schools
