The International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop inquisitive, knowledgeable students who help create a more peaceful world through cultural understanding. It offers challenging academic programs and assessments to encourage lifelong learning and an appreciation of multiple perspectives. The IB Diploma Program is a two-year curriculum for students aged 16-19 that balances exams in six subject groups with projects in theory of knowledge, service, and research. Assessments are criterion-based to evaluate skills rather than compare students, and curricula are reviewed regularly to maintain relevance. Universities widely recognize the diploma for admissions advantages.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

18. Assessment
Underlying philosophy:
• Criterion-related performance – students are assessed
against criteria not against one another
• Formative — many of the assessment instruments
(particularly the internal assessment tasks) can be used
formatively
• Summative — a record of student achievement at or
towards the end of the course of study (external)
• Attention is given to high-order skills as well as more
fundamental cognitive skills
19. Assessment
Assessment promotes the cross-cultural dimension of the
programme.
The following are some examples:
• In the Literature course students must study works originally
written in a language different from the one being followed for
their course.
• In language acquisition courses (Group 2) the language should
be studied in a strong cultural and practical setting.
• The history course includes a compulsory section on world
history.
• In the music course, students must carry out an investigation in
to the relationship between two musical pieces from different
cultures.
20. The Assessment Model
Internal assessment
• recognizes the role of the teacher
• gives students a chance to show
what they can do over time
• Work done by students over the
two years, assessed by the
teacher and moderated by
external examiners
• usually 20-30% of the final grade
External assessment (marked by
external examiners)
• Work done by students over the
two years
• Examinations chosen for high
levels of objectivity and reliability
(short response, essays, etc.)

21. Curriculum Review
To make sure that the curriculum for each subject is relevant
and current, a curriculum review process exists:
• Each curriculum is revised every seven years by
committees made up of teachers and educators from
around the world
• Curriculum reviews are announced ahead of time and
teacher support material and training are made available
• Assessment instruments are revised with every curriculum
review
22. University recognition: How well is the diploma recognised by universities?
IB courses are widely recognised by the world’s leading universities.
The IB works closely with universities in all regions of the world to
gain recognition for the IB diploma, providing:
Direct online access for university admissions officers (and government
officials) to syllabuses, recent examination papers, and transcripts in
order to facilitate recognition decisions
Guidance on policy development through model policies and exemplars
Seminars and workshops on policy development
Research specifically focused on matters directly impacting student
success at University
A database of university admission policies on www.ibo.org
Recognition in over 100 countries and by over 2,000 universities
Some universities offer scholarships and advanced placement for IB
students
23. Research shows that IB students succeed at University in many ways
including higher GPA’s, higher graduation rates, high retention rates, and
higher engagement. Students have the skills and knowledge necessary for
University success.
Universities recognise this through the policies such as these:
through admissions advantages, scholarships, placement and credit, as
well as through access to special programs and ancillary considerations,
such as preferred housing or course selection.
targeted recruitment efforts specifically for IB students. These are
facilitated by the IB.
IB students are admitted at virtually every noteworthy North American
institution at a higher rate than the general applicant pool.
IB supports recognition through;
A database of university admission policies on www.ibo.org
Currently there is recognition in over 100 countries and by over 2,000
universities

Editor's Notes
Inequality
The IB supports school communities which are involved in world affairs and community service and develops inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.
Complexity
The IB recognizes that future citizens of the world must know how to tolerate more ambiguity and to be less inclined to look for quick solutions. The IB encourages students of all ages to develop critical-thinking and to be actively engaged in their learning. To this end, the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.
Diversity
The IB provides a network of schools and its programmes, through which students develop cultural awareness, striving to present a broad vision of the world so that students understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.

Challenging: The IB Diploma Programme demands the best from both motivated students and teachers.
Rigorous: The Diploma Programme offers an assessment model which measure the extent to which students have mastered basic and advanced academic skills.
Balanced: The Diploma Programme achieves the depth of study demanded by the best universities, but also the breadth of subject choice that is the best preparation for life.
Rewarding: Living, working understanding and collaborating with other people, of other cultures and in other languages is a reality of the 21st century for which Diploma Programme students are well prepared.
The programme is presented as six academic areas with three core requirements enclosing the student at the centre.
It encourages the concurrent study of a broad range of academic areas. Students study: two languages; a humanities or social science subject; an experimental science; mathematics; and one of the creative arts or other academic area.
Three core elements – the extended essay, theory of knowledge and creativity, action, service – are compulsory and central to the philosophy of the programme.
Subject groups
Group 1 and Group 2 – Best language/additional language
Students select two languages: one from group 1 and an additional language normally from group 2
Group 3 – Individuals and societies
Business and management; Economics; Geography; History; ITGS; Philosophy; Psychology; Social and cultural anthropology; World Religions
Group 4 – Experimental sciences
Biology; Chemistry; Design Technology; Physics; Environmental systems and societies (interdisciplinary subject groups 3 and 4)
Group 5 – Mathematics and computer science
Mathematics Studies; Mathematics; Further Mathematics; Computer Science
Group 6 – The arts
Music; Theatre; Visual arts; Film
Additionally an interdisciplinary standard level subject meets the requirements of two groups through a single subject. A sixth subject must then be chosen to meet the requirements of the diploma. This additional subject may be chosen from any of the hexagon groups, including a group already covered by another academic area (e.g. a student may take two courses from the same group and use one of those courses as his or her Group 6 course).
Anticipated: for candidates intending to complete the requirements for one or two standard level
subjects (excluding languages ab initio and pilot subjects) at the end of their first year of the Diploma
Programme. They must complete all remaining IB diploma requirements in the corresponding
examination session (May or November) in the following year.
To earn the Diploma a candidate must:
Successfully complete the extended essay, ToK, and CAS requirements
Successfully complete the internal and external requirements of 3 HL courses and 3 SL courses
Earn a minimum of 24 points (each subject is graded on a 1-7 scale + a maximum of 3 points for the core requirements of the programme)
I would expect that the presenter would use this slide for some discussion of all the different ways by which the “rules” for the diploma can be tailored to the student and the school.
Assessment of each subject must include a suitable range of tasks and instruments/components that ensure all objectives for the subject are assessed. Assessment is varied to account for different students’ strengths and skills. These include:
Short-response questions
Extended-response questions
Essays
Projects
Portfolios of pieces of work
Reports
Performances
Presentations
Exhibitions
