It seems IBDP is gaining popularity in the UK. this study in 2016 compared 48k IBDP applicants to about 1 million A level applicants ... 3 comments:-
(1) The actual figures in the article you quoted are 48,470 IB students versus 1,200,930 A Level students, that works out to be 4%. Gained popularity yes, but being popular no.
(2) Bear in mind that UK universities are attractive to candidates worldwide, so you can expect a substantial proportion of the 48.780 IB students to be from overseas rather than local UK students, compared to HK universities where most IB students would be locals who opted out of the local curriculum (DSE).
(3) Many UK students who opted for IB only did the final IBDP programme, prior to that they went through 11 years of local curriculum up to GCSE.
I concur with others that avoiding the local HK curriculum is a major if not the primary reason for HK students to opt for IB over cheap and even free local education, you don't have to agree.
