Rejected petition Reverse the Cut to IB State Funded Schools.

We would like the government to reverse the decision to cut of funding for the IB program for IB state schools.

More details

We want the government to do this, as this is an issue close to our hearts. Schools are being forced to revert back to A-Levels, and students deserve the choice. The IB says: “If the Department for Education carries out this plan, its savings will be minimal but there will be significant costs to students in loss of choice and opportunity in a globally competitive environment.” IB students are 3 times more likely than matched A level students to enrol in a top-20 higher education institution.
