One of the major differences between IB and traditional HK system at A-level is the mix of subjects students need to take.
Under the traditional system, students need to choose either arts, science or business stream in F.4. After that, the subjects (or the majority) they take would be based on the chosen stream.
Under IB, students are required to study a mixture of arts and science subjects up to A-level, i.e. it stresses on the width of study (as opposed to the depth under traditional system).
Whether a particular student is suitable to take IB at A-level depends on (1) whether he is sure about his particular interest/ career path. For example, a student may be very certain that he will be a doctor in the future and his ability shows that he does very well in the relevant science subjects. Having made up his mind, it will be more beneficial for him to concentrate his effort in science subjects. In this case, IB may not be suitable for him; (2) Secondly, it depends on the capability of a particular student. I understand that IB exam is not easy. It may be a bit difficult for those average (or below) students if they need to study a number of subjects of different nature.
If a student takes IB at A-level, he will need to follow the non-jupas route for applying local universities. Off course HKU will not resist a student with high IB mark.
Therefore, you need to think about the future even if you are only choosing the primary school. |
