The IB welcomes ten public secondary schools in the City of Buenos Aires, Argentina that are now authorized to offer the Diploma Programme (DP).
The schools join 2 existing public schools and 45 private schools that offer the DP across Argentina.
The Ministry of Education—part of the Government of the City of Buenos Aires—initiated the project under the leadership of Mrs. Mercedes Miguel, General Director of Education Planning and Innovation.
The schools joined the initiative as volunteers to become IB World Schools. Each school will offer the DP to one class as part of an initial pilot stage and to promote access and innovation.
The initiative also ensures that the DP courses offered best suit the school communities.
Mrs. Miguel reflects, “We are delighted to have reached authorization—coordinating the requirements for ten schools was a huge undertaking.
"During the two-year authorization process, in-situ training was provided to over 250 heads of schools, teachers and administrative personnel at the schools and within government.”
