Fantastic video on IB education! 🌟 It's evident that you put a lot of thought and effort into creating this content, and it truly shines through. I'm sure it will benefit many students and parents looking for guidance in this area. I can't wait to see more of your educational content in the future!

[sailajamukund]

As an educator, it is heartwarming to see and hear the parent's perspective. I must commend your research skills regarding IB and how you delved deeply into the programs.

[kirankukreja]

So very informative…..so many parents will benefit from this video…..great job Jharna….keep up the good work.

[pixeldada]

Thank you for this wonderful & super detailed explanation. I'm going to now choose CBSE and retain my peace of mind :)

[moonisahameed]

Thank you! Video just popped up and I started listening. So far the best, if you ask me, for a parent who has been educated in a very traditional setup. No text books were giving me sacres! Almost like I have no clue what is going on and I have no power what so ever!
Please do continue on further educating about IB.

[xplorewithin]

Please make other videos as well!!
Glad to see that we have parents like you who think unconventionally and keep the health, wellbeing and skillsets of their children at topmost priority while educating them.

REQUEST: Please shed some light on what students learn about their own culture and traditions. Apart from international languages, Are they comfortable with teaching regional Languages such as Gujarati, Marathi, Hindi etc.

MYTH: Please Break this myth of whether:-
1)The parents with high income sending their kids to IB Schools sever them from their roots. Don't teach them cultural values, traditions. IB schools do not celebrate Bhartiya Festivities or parents wouldn't take them to temples with marvellous architecture which have a science behind which isn't really known so it is expected of such IB Schools to come up with unique ways to help kids understand that so that even if they go abroad, they understand what's the heritage they leave behind.

2) The rich parents send their kids to IB Schools do it for status quo and to send their kids abroad, focus more on English and make them think exactly the same way as Britishers did at one time of making English education the primary thing and taking away regional identies, culture and feelings of respect to grandparents away from them.

Here, whether that English Education is given by CBSE/ICSE Schools who have a rote learning approach or IB Schools that have a skilling approach but as the primary medium remains english so it is assumed to be taken up for status quo and kids look down upon their culture and festivities. Look down upon wearing Tilak or learning
about their gods.

It becomes important to ask this because their are people in towns who are rich but culturally rooted and don't think unconventionally even though they can afford it, so your videos can become a good medium to convince them.

Edit : By culturally rooted I mean who think that Gurukuls are a way forward coz current modern schooling system doesn't not teaches ethics, values. Doesn't shows them how to distinguish between right and wrong and these people are traditionally living in let's say their ancestral homes in villages of keral, gujarat, punjab, coorg, north east basically every village and town in Bharat have such families just that they need to be educated about these systems of IB Schools.

Love Love 💗💗
THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR VIDEOS AND CHOICE YOU MADE FOR YOUR KIDS.

जय हिंद।

[Shimmerswimmer]

Iv stumbled upon so many videos, but this by far has been the BEST . So much clarity and the right info. Thanks

[aditisharma]

Gorgeous Jharna. Fantastic video, many thanks for the thorough explanation. I've been looking for it for the past year.. Could you please make a video on IGCSE schools also please

[RajSinghPasha]

According to my perspective, it is advisable to follow the Primary Years Programme (PYP) from 1st to 5th standard, then transition to Cambridge Lower Secondary and Senior Secondary, i.e., IGCSE, from 6th to 10th standard. In 11th and 12th grade, the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IB DP) is considered the best option. I, myself, attended The British School Delhi and followed the same educational pathway

[arpithaprakash]

Thanks so much Jharna.. this was so detailed.. looking forward to subsequent sessions.. would like to know how parents can prepare and undergo mindset shift.. knowing we were raised in traditional schooling which were academic oriented..

Thanks so much for describing how progressive IB is and how it’s not a board per se and is responsible for comprehensive development of child!!

[raaviswetha]

Amazing info Jharna, thanks a lot for the detailed explanation

[shashipriyak]

Madam, at 7.23 you say, Schools which claim to be IB Schools might not be authorised by IB. How it is possible? Is it NOT Illegal?

[soleilcom]

What an amazing video. So simply, yet powerfully explained.

[tanujakothur]

Can you plz make a detailed video for myp assessment along with criteria in subject

[gharshava]

A simple and very well presented video addressing the basics about IB and the most common concerns parents have.
Thank you Jharna for this informative and wonderful video! Very structured and concise.
