Secondary schools have to prepare students for Universities, grades do count.

Of course Chinese is ...

With more and more students taking Chinese subject, some universities become skeptical about a Chinese student taking Chinese B, which is supposed to be the 2nd language, as a "tactic " to boost the overall IB grade.  I heard a case where a HK student was specifically being asked by a university in HK during the interview why he took Chinese B instead of A.  That's why my daughters' school plans to have all students take Chinese A, standard level.  Taking Chinese A, high level would be too hard for most students and it also means that one will be competing with Mainland Chinese students.
