Is the IB Programme Marxist? Is IB socialist? Does IB push the concept of World Government? Does IB seek to indoctrinate our children with liberal philosophies?
These are legitimate questions and they have been asked time and time again. We have provided copies of original documents that will allow you to determine for yourself what is the ideology of the IB Organization and does IB insert this philosophy into their curriculum. Remember IB markets its K-12 curriculum throughout the world. The Primary Years Programme begins with children as young as 3 years. Look carefully first at the IB philosophy, then at some sample lessons we have acquired. Use the pop-up tabs in the navigation column to link to the evidence. You decide if there is anything to worry about.
2005 Speech by former IBO Director General George Walker
Some key phrases he uses in the speech to describe the "hidden curriculum": "-compulsory, timetabled part of the learning in which everyone participates" "-extra- or co-curriculum which is voluntary but enriches the compulsory curriculum; it is what we often remember most from our school experience" "- the informal but influential rules, beliefs and attitudes that determine the transmission of norms and values."
