MYP: the next chapter
The IB is looking to review the design for the last years of MYP, aiming to:
• provide a structure that more clearly enables students to be successful in further IB studies
• facilitates schools in combining the MYP with requirements of a national/state systems.
The new design will create an innovative, concept‐based and appropriately assessed programme for 14‐16 year olds that fully reflects the IB principles of teaching and learning.
