Building the IB Ecosystem in South Korea Through IBEC

The IB Educator Certificate Program (IBEC) is having a transformational impact on the way that education is changing in South Korea. Since 2020, IBEC has been instrumental in helping many universities become certified in the program, leading to more than 800 trained teachers and fast-tracking the establishment of IB World Schools throughout the nation.

With the support of university institutions, local education offices, and the schools themselves, IBEC has facilitated a sustainable pathway of educators skilled in inquiry-based teaching methodology and global education philosophy. In addition, IBEC is spearheading a paradigm shift from conventional memorization to more conceptual teaching approaches and putting a greater focus on mental well-being.
