IB Education System in India - Everything you need to know | Facts, Myths & First Hand Experience

[@sherinejacob84]

Fantastic video on IB education! 🌟 It's evident that you put a lot of thought and effort into creating this content, and it truly shines through. I'm sure it will benefit many students and parents looking for guidance in this area. I can't wait to see more of your educational content in the future!

[@Jharnalist]

Your wish is my command! 😊 thank you so much for the vote of confidence

[@pixeldada]

Thank you for this wonderful & super detailed explanation. I'm going to now choose CBSE and retain my peace of mind :)

[@Jharnalist]

Happy you can now make an informed choice but a little puzzled by the ‘retain peace of mind’ phrase. Did you find that IB wouldn’t allow that?

[@sailajamukund3917]

As an educator, it is heartwarming to see and hear the parent's perspective. I must commend your research skills regarding IB and how you delved deeply into the programs.

[@Jharnalist]

Thank you so much! Your stamp of approval is definitely confidence boosting.

[@kirankukreja2775]

So very informative…..so many parents will benefit from this video…..great job Jharna….keep up the good work.

[@Jharnalist]

Thank you 😊❤️

[@moonisahameed6802]

Thank you! Video just popped up and I started listening. So far the best, if you ask me, for a parent who has been educated in a very traditional setup. No text books were giving me sacres! Almost like I have no clue what is going on and I have no power what so ever! Please do continue on further educating about IB.

[@qurataien8512]

Thanks for information Pls tell me is there any IB school in Anantnag district of j&k.

[@soleilcom6282]

What an amazing video. So simply, yet powerfully explained.

[@Jharnalist]

Thank you for the kinds words! I'm working on the next in this series

[@xplorewithin970]

Please make other videos as well!! Glad to see that we have parents like you who think unconventionally and keep the health, wellbeing and skillsets of their children at topmost priority while educating them. REQUEST: Please shed some light on what students learn about their own culture and traditions. Apart from international languages, Are they comfortable with teaching regional Languages such as Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi etc. MYTH: Please Break this myth of whether:- 1)The parents with high income sending their kids to IB Schools sever them from their roots. Don't teach them cultural values, traditions. IB schools do not celebrate Bhartiya Festivities or parents wouldn't take them to temples with marvellous architecture which have a science behind which isn't really known so it is expected of such IB Schools to come up with unique ways to help kids understand that so that even if they go abroad, they understand what's the heritage they leave behind. 2) The rich parents send their kids to IB Schools do it for status quo and to send their kids abroad, focus more on English and make them think exactly the same way as Britishers did at one time of making English education the primary thing and taking away regional identies, culture and feelings of respect to grandparents away from them. Here, whether that English Education is given by CBSE/ICSE Schools who have a rote learning approach or IB Schools that have a skilling approach but as the primary medium remains english so it is assumed to be taken up for status quo and kids look down upon their culture and festivities. Look down upon wearing Tilak or learning about their gods. It becomes important to ask this because their are people in towns who are rich but culturally rooted and don't think unconventionally even though they can afford it, so your videos can become a good medium to convince them. Edit : By culturally rooted I mean who think that Gurukuls are a way forward coz current modern schooling system doesn't not teaches ethics, values. Doesn't shows them how to distinguish between right and wrong and these people are traditionally living in let's say their ancestral homes in villages of keral, gujarat, punjab, coorg, north east basically every village and town in Bharat have such families just that they need to be educated about these systems of IB Schools. Love Love 💗💗 THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND CHOICE YOU MADE FOR YOUR KIDS. जय हिंद।

[@Dharma.245]

My Kid is in IB...And i really appreciate the way you explained all the things... please prepare more such videos...

[@Jharnalist]

@@Dharma.245 finally working on the pyp now. Will be out in a couple weeks

[@Shimmerswimmer]

Iv stumbled upon so many videos, but this by far has been the BEST . So much clarity and the right info. Thanks

[@Jharnalist]

Glad it was helpful! More in this series are coming soon

[@RajSinghPasha1378]

According to my perspective, it is advisable to follow the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from 1st to 5th standard, then transition to Cambridge Lower Secondary and Senior Secondary, i.e., IGCSE, from 6th to 10th standard. In 11th and 12th grade, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) is considered the best option. I, myself, attended The British School Delhi and followed the same educational pathway

[@AnkitaSingh-qr6ds]

Could u plz elaborate why u think that this pattern u shared which u followed is better ?

[@arpithaprakash6827]

Thanks so much Jharna.. this was so detailed.. looking forward to subsequent sessions.. would like to know how parents can prepare and undergo mindset shift.. knowing we were raised in traditional schooling which were academic oriented.. Thanks so much for describing how progressive IB is and how it’s not a board per se and is responsible for comprehensive development of child!!

[@tanujakothur]

Can you plz make a detailed video for myp assessment along with criteria in subject - choosing right subject in myp and dp as I liked your detailed video about IB system .

[@daphneluciana1744]

Such a helpful video. love your clarity and the research you have done. When will you be coming up with a video for MYP and DP? also what are the options for children who want to shift to Indian colleges after 10th and may not want to do the IBDP? Students who do not want to take up medicine or engineering but other courses, what are the universities that are popular among such students after 10th in India?

[@Jharnalist]

They can most definitely take up other courses after 10th. In most parts of India +2 education is part of school barring a few places like Mumbai

[@shashipriyak6969]

I think this is the only video in KZbin having so much information about IB .. Thank u very much... Can you also share best IB schools in Bangalore?

[@Jharnalist]

Thank you so much - so glad my video could help you with the info you need on IB education. In terms of best IB schools - I would say that since all IB authorised schools have to meet IB standards and practices, they by and large would all be good. The ideal one for your child would depend upon your location, budget and a few other priorities

[@SandeepKumar-ku1eh]

Please upload further videos of the series. Eagerly waiting for your insights, so we can make an informed decision.

[@richakhullar5624]

Hats off to you dear.. what an amazing video filled with so much important info I think all the new parents will definitely benefit from it 👍👍 It came at the right time when I was looking for schools for my toddler and was unable to decide since I had zero knowledge regarding IB board.. thanks for making such a video , will look forward for the next in this series and please continue to bring such important content to the world..

[@wasimking1]

Hello, really nice and informative video, Inspired by your video, I have done a lot of research and realised it’s really necessary, convinced my parents why it’s important for there grand children, convinced my wife, and was very happy for my son, daughter and my brothers son ( I am taking care of ). Then next step I started searching for schools, but then reality hit me very hard, the cheapest IB schools are asking average 3LPA in Mumbai. even though I can afford it for one child it’s overwhelming if you make it 3x, no way I can afford it. Then I realised why middle class never get a chance to be and complete with the elite class, its money man money 😢

[@Shimmerswimmer]

But honestly two points from these are true They are expensive & DP program is extremely rigorous

[@user-ek2bv5bn6h]

Dear Madam, I have seen your video it's very worth full information for the parents who's plan for IB school, we are looking IB Diploma for my daughter in bangalore and we are from Tamilnadu,Can you suggest the best Ib school with safe boarding in bangalore Please.

[@Jharnalist]

I’m not sure about exactly which schools offer boarding facility along with the IB DP but I think you can check with TISB, Indus, Stonehill

[@shashipriyak6969]

Can you tell us how is education in the Early years in IB. Is Montessori better than IB atleast till 2nd grade ?

[@Job_Education_Counselling]

Madam, Scoring High Marks / Top Ranks in JEE (Advanced) / NEET Exam Is NOT Much Easy. Only Knowledge of NCERT Books & Rote Learning NOT Enough to Crack JEE (Advanced) Which May Please Be Noted.

[@Jharnalist]

Did I say that it is easy or that only rote learning is necessary?? Please don’t insert words into my mouth which I have not said. My husband is an IITian and I know how hard it is appear for competitive exams like these and do well in them

[@xplorewithin970]

​@@Jharnalist Greatly Humbled by this response 😂 I think people should think about this that it is not easy to take such unconventional decisions as parents living in Bharat for their kids. That's why your video series are very crucial. Once again Thanks alot.

[@xplorewithin970]

Yes as will power in itself is a very big factor here. Totally Agree with you. But still the amount of pressure students go through its imp to think about alternatives. And going by your argument you make it clear that even if a person goes to an IB School still they can go to a coaching learn for competitive exams and join IB affiliated unis coz they not just involve rote learning but active involvement of students, scientific temperament and will power which is already been taught in IB Schools. So if they try they have a chance coz exams like NEET are not just about cramming textbook but understanding the topics playfully/joyously, yes trust me there are coaching who tend to make learning fun and application of that knowledge. Just a different of looking at things. यथा दृष्टि, तथा श्रृष्टि। (Yatha Drishti, Tatha Shristi.)

@jharnalist hi i wanted to get a little more clarity. In Bombay there are some very good IB schools who dont have the MYP programme and are affiliated with the cambridge board, meaning kids will have exams like other regular schools. Is there a reason for this to create a balance since it will help during competitive exams in India.

I understand that is what IB by definition is. But - do schools and trachers in India understand the new ways of teaching? Or are they still teaching in traditional ways?

[@Jharnalist]

Well if you watch the video you will be able to understand about IB teachers training, workshops and how IB keeps a check on schools meeting standards. Beyond that yes of course there is a dearth of teachers who are qualified to teach the IB programmes effectively

[@nidhikaushal4353]
