摘要：This paper presents a comparative analysis of the International Baccalaureate (IB) and the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level (A-Level), two international educational assessment systems. The study explores their similarities and differences in educational philosophy, curriculum design, assessment methods, and student experience. Findings indicate that the IB curriculum emphasizes holistic education and interdisciplinary learning, while the A-Level curriculum focuses more on subject depth and specialization. In terms of assessment methods, the IB combines internal and external evaluations, whereas the A-Level primarily relies on final examinations. Regarding student experience, IB students typically perceive a broader range of learning opportunities, while A-Level students gain in-depth knowledge in specific subject areas. The study offers valuable insights for educators and policymakers to improve educational practices and support the personalized development of students.
