Geneva has an extended history as a home for international diplomacy and collaboration; from the former League of Nations to the United Nations today, there are few places more suited for debating issues of global concern. Geneva’s history invites us to ‘face outward’ into the world. Far beyond the Palace of Nations, the city’s mountainous landscape reminds us to continue to move upwards and aim for a brighter future. #EAIE2018 CONTENTS 07 Schedule at a glance Plan your day 08 Steps to success Start with the essentials 09 Top tips for newcomers Make the most out of your first conference Copyright © 2018 by the EAIE. 11 Venue services & transportation Get around ISSN 1389-0808 European Association for International Education (EAIE) 12 Campus Experiences PO Box 11189, 1001 GD, Amsterdam, the Learn about Swiss higher education Netherlands TEL +31-20-344 51 00 E-MAIL [email protected] 14 Workshops www.eaie.org Enhance your skills CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 40536784 16 Expert Communities PRINTED BY Meet and mingle Drukkerij Raddraaier, Amsterdam.

  • Research Summary the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Mexico As Preparation for Higher Education
    Research Summary The International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme in Mexico as Preparation for Higher Education Based on a research report prepared for the IB by: Anna Rosefsky Saavedra, The RAND Corporation Elisa Lavore, Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México Georgina Flores, Facultad Latinoamericana de Ciencias Sociales-México June 2013 Background Through intercultural understanding and respect, the International Baccalaureate (IB) aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people in order to create a better and more peaceful world. The IB offers a continuum of international education for students between the ages of 3 and 19 years. The Primary Years Programme (PYP) is designed for students aged 3 to 12; the Middle Years Programme (MYP) serves students aged 11 to 16; and the Diploma Programme (DP) and IB Career- related certificate (IBCC) are aimed at students aged 16 to 19. Founded in 1968, the organization currently works with more than 3,500 schools in over 140 countries to deliver academically rigorous programmes to over one million students. In this report, the researchers examine the relationship between Mexican students’ enrollment in the DP and their college preparedness at four Mexican case study schools. Similar to the United States and many other countries worldwide, Mexico is experiencing strong growth in IB programme implementation in schools. From 2000–2004, the number of schools in Mexico offering IB programmes doubled; it then more than doubled again in the following eight years from 2004–2012 such that today over 90 schools in Mexico offer IB programmes. While there is a growing body of research on the relationship between IB Diploma Programme enrollment and preparedness for higher education in the US, UK and Australia, there is currently very little research on the IB Diploma Programme in Mexico and in other Latin American countries.
