Every IB school will have a well-equipped and developed project laboratory. This will enable learners to put their knowledge and skills into practice without hindrance. Most schools find it hard to find equipments for project base learning.

If we are talking of sustainable development, it has to involve the participation of LICs because they are the most affected when it comes to global issues. For example, solving problems such as poverty and hunger should not be an issue of HICs giving economic aid to LICs. In my opinion, when skills are taught in school, it will develop learner's ability to be productive and create jobs for themselves instead of relying on the government to solve every issue.
