Olli-Pekka Heinonen, Director General of the International Baccalaureate, congratulated all the Diploma Programme and Career-related Programme students on reaching this important achievement. The IB celebrates the achievements of all students who have reached this important milestone. Over the course of the two-year DP and CP journey, they have developed the knowledge, skills, and mindset needed to thrive in a changing world and contribute meaningfully to their communities.
“I’m inspired by the dedication, resilience, and compassion shown by IB students during such a complex time in the world. As IB graduates move forward—into higher education, careers, or service to their communities—they carry with them the competencies, values, and global mindset needed to thrive and make a meaningful difference.
IB graduates leave not only with knowledge, but also with the perspective and purpose to lead, serve, and shape a better world. We are proud of who they are and the impact they’re already making.”
The Diploma Programme (DP) is offered in over 795 IB World Schools across the Asia-Pacific region and 177 IB World Schools in India. The Career-related Programme (CP) continues to grow across the Asia-Pacific region, with 82 IB World Schools currently offering the programme. In India alone, 41 IB World Schools have adopted the CP. The CP is designed for students aged 16–19 who want to combine academic studies with career-related learning. The CP develops key transferable skills such as confidence, responsibility, and a strong sense of purpose, offering students a practical and future-ready pathway.
