Honestly, I’ve seen a big difference in how schools approach tracking student progress these days. It’s not just about grades anymore — it’s about how much a child grows in thinking, creativity, and confidence.

A friend of mine enrolled her son in IB primary years programme Singapore at One World International School, and she always talks about how refreshing their approach is. Instead of focusing only on exams, the teachers there keep track of every little milestone — like how well students work in groups, how they reflect on their own learning, and how they apply knowledge in real-life projects.

What she really liked was that her son could see his own progress. Teachers regularly shared portfolios and feedback, so both the student and parents knew where improvement was happening. It’s such a positive and encouraging system — very different from the old-school report-card style.

In short, this kind of continuous assessment used in the IB framework really helps students understand how they’re learning, not just what they’re learning. It makes education more meaningful and much less stressful.
