🌟 Assessing Physical Education & Health: IGCSE vs. IB MYP 🌟
When assessing Physical Education and Health, the IGCSE and IB MYP have unique approaches that cater to different educational philosophies. But how do they stack up against each other? 🤔
IGCSE: A Focus on Performance & Theory:
In IGCSE, assessment is more traditional, emphasizing both performance in physical activities and theoretical understanding. Students are evaluated through practical examinations where they demonstrate their skills in selected sports, alongside written exams that test their knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and the principles of health and fitness.
IB MYP: A Holistic Approach:
The IB MYP, on the other hand, adopts a more holistic approach. Assessment is continuous and criterion-based, focusing on the physical and theoretical aspects and personal and social development. Students reflect, set personal goals, and explore physical activities that interest them. The aim is to develop lifelong learners who appreciate the importance of a balanced lifestyle.
Which Approach is Better?
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The IGCSE might be more suited for students who excel in structured assessments, while the MYP is ideal for those who thrive in an environment that values personal growth and self-reflection.

Delighted to see continued growth across high school and university segments (and soon, employer and workforce) from our partners in #Japan.
Higher levels of English proficiency remains a goal of the Japanese government but benchmarks have yet to be met:
"According to a survey conducted by Japan’s Ministry of Education Culture, Sports, Science, and Technology, only 49.2% of third-year junior high school students had an English proficiency level at least equivalent to CEFR A-1 level, while just 47.7% of third-year high school students were proficient in English to a level of at least CEFR A-2. The proficiency of the junior-high and high school students rose 2.2 and 2.6 points, respectively, compared to the 2021 survey, but neither reached the government’s benchmark of 50%."
