DP Updates

Dear parents,

The IB has published two documents recently that provide expanded or revised guidance for the May 2021 examination session, based on the changes announced in the Updates for 2020–21: Learning, teaching and assessment publication.

The first document, Further details for schools on the M21 adapted assessment, includes the following additional information on the May 2021 session:

• general information about the adaptations to the May 2021 assessments

• subject-by-subject information on the adapted May 2021 assessments, including examination timing and weighting

• high-level guidance for each subject on how schools might adapt their teaching and learning to account for disruptions.

The second document is the Addendum for May 2021 guidance on internal and other non-examination coursework assessment components. This document provides information on assessment components affected by the May 2021 adaptations.

The IB has also published the final May 2021 examination schedule for the Diploma Programme.

The new schedules reflect the adjustments made to the May 2021 assessment components, and we have shared these adjustments with the students. We will conduct Mock exams as per these changes.

The DP office will release a personalized and detailed exam schedule with exam timing and invigilation details later and share that with the school community.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. Please contact Pak Ram (ramp@globaljaya.com) with questions or concerns.

Warm regards,

Ram
