The IBIDC held their 5th meeting in mid February in the Sheriff’s Office in Mumbai to further discuss issues of University Recognition, working proactively with the media in India, teacher training needs, the IB’s commitment to Community Service and Access Projects in India and Academic Honesty and Intellectual Property issues.
Members of the Indian Development Council in the Sheriff’s office, Mumbai, February 2008-03-30
As this group and the many representatives from schools continue to work towards improving University Recognition in Indian schools, it is imperative that schools implement rigorous internal moderation procedures to ensure the consistency and accuracy of predicted grades.
