This petition should be signed by those that want the IB exams for Diploma Program DP1 and DP2 to be cancelled in India.

With the rising number of cases in India (125,000 per day) and the students and faculty contracting positive for Covid in IB schools across Maharastra, Delhi, Punjab, Hyderabad , Noida , Bangalore, Kerala etc. The fatality rate of the recent surge has also seemingly increased.  India has surpassed most records for Covid contraction surge in the last fortnight and even small children to 20 year olds are contracting 770 variants of Sars Covid-19. 

Cancelling IB exams is essential to ensure that IB schools do not continue as hotspots for COVID transmission. A leading private IB school in North India is not getting their  staff periodically tested prior to exams nor sharing any written guidelines on managing the spread.

The solution is to cancel the exams in India and base the final grade on the school predicted grade and Internal Assesments already submitted to the IB.
