The International Baccalaureate has unveiled a series of changes to next year's exams for its Diploma and Career-related programmes.

Twenty-eight examinations have either had components removed, requirements amended or both, to take account of teaching time lost to the coronavirus. This includes six science and six arts subjects and it represents almost all exams offered by the organisation.

The changes will also affect seven exams based on school syllabuses.

Full details on changes in 2020 and 2021 can be found on the IBO Website.
