IB Projection Timeline

By Molly Olah

  • English and French - IB Official Languages

  • Spanish - IB Official Language

  • Primary Schools Programme

  • Prediction - Primary Programme includes a requirement for beginning 2nd language development

    Recognition is given that language is acquired most successfully when it is begun as early as possible.

  • Prediction - Primary Programme includes required communication between students of different schools around the world

    The increasing importance of cross-cultural communication is recognized in this added requirement; students are taught that corresponding with their neighbors is beneficial for additional educational resources and interest.

  • Prediction - I.B. Primary programme introduced to IB school on Mars

    The human species has expanded to Mars; international education has come along on the excursion. The I.B. model fits the bill for inclusion and a sense of unity among the colonists; starting it as early as possible is important.
