Curriculum:
There are four curriculums:
- Cambridge Assessment International Education (CAIE)
- Pearson Edexcel
- Oxford International AQA
- International Baccalaureate (IB) Among these four, the first two are more famous and recognized in Bangladesh.
Clearing the myth English version vs English mediums:
There is another very common curriculum in Bangladesh. That is known as English Version. In reality, English medium schools are different from the English version. English version schools adhere to the national curriculum and administer English-language national examinations, while English medium schools follow the more common Edexcel or Cambridge International Examination curriculum.
Key Benefits:
As students grow up in an English-medium school, they are able to improve their skills in English throughout their school career and beyond. Furthermore, children gain other key skills such as comprehension, writing, critical thinking, problem-solving skills, the ability to analyze information, communicate, and the ability to think globally, which is essential to success in today’s globalized world.
