The document summarizes the key aspects of implementing the International Baccalaureate Middle Years Programme (MYP). It outlines that the MYP can be implemented as a 5-year or shorter program. Schools must conform to IB standards and practices, and students must complete assessment requirements across 8 subject groups. The MYP can be taught in any language, with some requiring IB approval. Student work submitted for assessment is used anonymously for moderation and monitoring purposes.
