IBCC has approved the equivalence of the CP to the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) science group
The Career-related
Programme (CP) has been officially recognized by Pakistan’s Inter Board
Committee of Chairmen (IBCC), Ministry of Education, and is equivalent to the Higher Secondary School
Certificate (HSSC) Science subjects (Pre-Medical/Pre-Engineering
Group) of Pakistan. All
students who have a Secondary School Certificate, or equivalent qualification,
will be eligible to study the CP.
Uzma Shujjat, IB’s
Regional Manager of Pakistan, said: “We are delighted with the news that the CP
is now officially recognized to both humanities and science groups throughout
Pakistan. This recognition opens new opportunities for CP students in Pakistan to
join higher education, including medical and engineering colleges”.
The CP is specifically designed for students aged 16–19
who wish to engage in career-related learning, while also continuing to gain
transferable and lifelong skills in applied knowledge, critical thinking,
communication, and cross-cultural engagement. It is an innovative blend of
academic study and career skills that incorporates the vision and educational
principles of the IB into a unique programme. The CP’s three-part framework comprises
the study of at least two Diploma Programme (DP) courses alongside the
distinctive CP core and a career-related study.
Universities across
the world value a CP student for a number of reasons, including their ability
to manage a challenging and varied workload, while also bringing the
appropriate level of academic knowledge and understanding. The CP is equivalent to Higher Secondary
School Certificate (Humanities Group and Science) in Pakistan.
