Just happened to watch this now . I am in Singapore. My daughter did IB in an international School in Singapore. Singapore is the best performing IB country in the world , beating Switzerland, the original IB country. My daughter chose IB bec it is compulsory in Singapore to study Chinese if as one of the subjects if we are ethnic Chinese. IB Chinese is very much easier than “A” level Chinese in Singapore. She is not at all strong in Chinese, yet was able to score a perfect 7 at std level.
