Background
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.
