21 schools conducted the exams for their students. These included institutions such as Singapore Sports School, Anglo-Chinese School (ACS) Independent, St Joseph’s Institution (SJI) and Madrasah Aljunied Al-Islamiah.
Students under the international schools of SJI, ACS and Hwa Chong also received their results.
Those who sat for the exams scored well, with the average being 39.48 out of 45. This was higher than the global average of 30.91, The Straits Times (ST) reported.
In addition, 55 out of 120 perfect scorers came from Singapore.
Olli Pekka Heinonen, director-general of the IB, praised students for showing “incredible resilience” throughout the Covid-19 pandemic via a statement on the official website.
“The global crisis threw up many challenges for them to overcome, and I am proud of every single IB student completing their courses today,” he said.
Mr Heinonen added that the IB had adapted to address challenges in light of the disruptions caused by the pandemic for the Nov 2022 exams. This included making adjustments to learning, teaching and assessment.
A majority of students were able to sit for the exams. However, the IB stated it allowed for grades to be awarded without written papers.
This was a contingency measure for situations where authorities could not administer the exams.
“The impact of the pandemic on students was taken into account throughout the grade awarding process for the November 2022 examination session,” the organisation confirmed.
