行IB 既學校

中天英

IB有三個課程, 既IBD(高中), MYP(初中) 同PYP(小學); 但以IBD最多學校採用, 亦係最受尊重既課程。

IBD有公開試, 全世界既學校都要將D試卷, 送返IB组織作改卷/評分; 而MYP/PYP係冇公開試既, IB只提供一個課程架構, 其他都跟一般本地學校分別唔大。

可以咁講, 所謂IB學校, 係以推行IBD先至算正宗, 有冇MYP/PYP, 唔係咁重要; 事實上大部份IB學校(本港及海外), 都係只行IBD既。

這樣說,如IB web site 都冇名既學校,只是讀至高中先行IB,是否帶有誤導成份呢?

個人認為學校如能貫徹提供PYP(小學)、MYP(初中)及IBD(高中)IB課程，必定比起只提供IBD課程更有成效；事實上，IB課程要求學生擁有的特質是需要長時間在適當的環境及配套下浸淫出來的，若學生是在傳統學校讀小學及中學，未必能適應或接受IBD(高中)IB課程。

not agreed.....
in fact, founded in 1965 in Geneva, Switzerland, the IBD program was created to set standards for student achievement among youngsters who move frequently from country to country.

Therefore, the IB program must be flexible and versatile enough to meet different cultures, changing environment and education background.

Quote from other source:

What is IB?

The International Baccalaureate (IB) Diploma Programme is a challenging two-year curriculum for juniors and seniors providing an integrated and proven approach to college preparation.

Students learn more than a collection of facts. The Diploma Programme prepares students for coursework at the college level and encourages them to:

ask challenging questions,
learn how to learn,
develop a strong sense of their own identity and culture, and
develop the ability to communicate with and understand people from other countries and cultures.

Freshman and sophomores take prerequisites and world language courses in preparation for IB coursework that lead to the IB diploma.

Program Overview

The mission of the International Baccalaureate is to promote international understanding and responsible world citizenship through high academic standards and the development of lifelong learners who think critically. Students learn how to compare and contrast information, draw connections between knowledge from a variety of fields, and broaden their understanding of themselves and the world as they prepare themselves for higher learning opportunities.

唔知你所講既學習風氣指邊一方面?  一般呢講, 優才既學生唔算死讀書/狂補習個種; 但係睇書既氣氛就幾好, 學校亦好鼓勵學生睇課外書, 有各種讀書計劃/獎勵咁。

如果一定要選讀 IB 課程的中學, 選從初中開始已行 IB 的啟思中學較好吧.

The earlier the better since the approach to learning is different from traditional one in local school.

According to the EDB policy, DSS schools including Creative secondary are not allowed to provide only IBD for all students.

Can you please quote your source especially about "including CSS"?

Anyway, CSS provides both IBD and HKDSE for the students'  selection for senior secondary years.

CSS's MYP is based on local curriculum.

The Hong Kong
secondary curriculum from Form 1 to Form 3 is implemented at CSS through the framework of the IB MIddle Years Programme. There is an excellent match between the 8 Key Learning Areas in Hong Kong and the 8 subject groups of the IB MYP.

Source is from a letter dated 1 March 2007 with titlte "International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP)" from Education Department to the Supervisors/Heads of DSS Secondary Schools.

It has come to our attention that a number of DSS schools have indicated their intention to offer IBDP. We wish to re-iterate that as stated in the Education and Manpower Bureau Circular Memorandum No. 532/99 issued on 22 September 1999, DSS schools are required to offer principally a curriculum targeted at local students and prepare them for local examinations..........

cow兄, 以上的 source是 22 September 1999 發出的, 這是原則, 但經開辨DSS 的辦學團體與教育局商討後, 每個批核都是不同的.

政府有意在本港資助試辦各種不同的學制, 包括 DSS, PIS, IS, through-train.... 而批核CSS試辦 IB 學制的 DSS 就是只中一項.

The truth is that there is no DSS school that only provides IBDP. I am looking forward to seeing such a school.

I know some parents of hkuga were very disappointed when hkuga announced to give up the IBDP.  Some suggested using legal way to challenge the EDB not to allow hkuga to provide all IBDP classes. hkuga also said it would consider to establish a new school to provide IBDP only. I don't know the details.

Maybe this is the fact that no DSS school that only provides IBDP. If you really want it, you may consider PLK Choi Kai Yau School or Victoria Shanghai Acedemy. I heard that these schools would offer only IBDP in their Grade 11 & 12. And the school fees of these schools are not that high comparing to other international schools.

However, I consider that a school offering both IBD and HKDSE is an advantage. In a seminar held in CSS, the parents were told that they could select either IBDP and HKDSE at their own choice. Principal Cheung of CSS further explained that not every his student wanted to study IBD eventually. Then, they would be able to get a suitable exit when they finished their junior secondary years. Principal Cheung said that he could not tell how many students at the end of his school's first F.4 would choose either IBD or HKDSE.

I believe that even in HKUGA College, not all parents want their children to study IBD. If the HKUGA is approved to offer the IBDP only, many parents must make compliants to Education Bureau too. On the other hand, if HKUGA operates another college to run IBDP only without government's direct subsidy, its school fee must be comparative to the current fees of PLK and VSA.

Personally, I must admit I know v little about IB requirements. I understand it is mainly project based education. It would appear to me that project is output, which should follow input. Hence it seems good sense to me that primary school, at least junior primary ie up till P4, that schools concentrate on input before they talk about output/ project/ IB. My 2 cents worth.

what I know about IBDP is that it is not suitable for every student, it is actually a difficult course, demanding.

"Source is from a letter dated 1 March 2007 with titlte "International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (IBDP)" from Education Department to the Supervisors/Heads of DSS Secondary Schools."

i heard about this letter back in 2007 from school principal. I guess it is reasonable that government want to spent money on our own exam system.

we can creat/ are creating our own IB system.
