Schools offering the International Baccalaureate Diploma Program (instead of A Levels or Higher Secondary) are increasing popular in India and are also growing in popularity worldwide. At last count there were over 70 such schools in India with more opening every other month.
In Pakistan, on the other hand there seems to be only 1 IB school?
Any reason as to why IB is not popular in Pakistan?
