International Baccalaureate (IB) has published a report on the growth and success story of the program in Canada for 2025. The results indicate that not only the growth of the program is evident but also high academic achievements of IB students in Canada where IB is available at 383 schools with majority being public institutions and also in the areas of science and engineering.
New York City schools are now reconsidering their strategy for gifted education and are moving towards the implementation of the International Baccalaureate (IB) program, which is perceived as a more equitable method of gifted education. The IB program is based on the principle of encouraging students to become self-aware learners who learn how to learn on their own and gain knowledge by posing questions and conducting research themselves. Students’ thinking is stimulated to enable them to use their acquired skills in real-life situations, providing education that is more practical and valuable. With the introduction of the IB system, gifted education will become more accessible for all learners rather than being provided exclusively to students deemed to be gifted.
