Decolonise IBDP Curriculum Survey
We are a group of IB alumni that aims to decolonize the IBDP curriculum to increase education about racism and intersectional global social issues. Currently, we are trying to identify aspects of the current curriculum that can be improved. We will use the answers you provide in this survey to help us do this.
Global social issues are defined as but not limited to: race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, class, ability, age, religion, marginalized and disenfranchised groups
Note: you do not have to have already graduated to answer this survey!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMPLETING THIS SURVEY!
We would also like to say that by filling in this survey/signing the petition is by no means the end of the work that needs to be done. We do not wish to appropriate the Black Lives Matter movement or any other critical social cause and distract from urgent action that must be taken for such causes (donating, signing petitions, watching content that provides ad revenue, attending protests etc). If you have anything you would like to tell us directly please contact Organisation to Decolonise International Schools via Facebook or @decolonise_intl via Instagram
