International Baccalaureate is committed to conducting regular and relevant research geared toward gaining understanding of programme success and it's effects on students (and student success).
For a broader understanding of the IB research process as well as studies in the works, please head to the IB homepage.
The Statistical Bulletin is an annual publication IB produces outlining assessment and enrollment statistics for each region of the organization. It is published in the late fall and reflects the statistics collected from the previous exam session (for example, this bulletin from 2017 features information specific to the May 2017 exam session).
This publication offers our instructors relevant information on how our students compare to IB students around the world.
You'll also find additional research articles below. Please note that they are briefs or summaries of the full research analysis.
