International Language & Business Centre (ILBC) is leading digital transformation for Future Learning Assessment in Asia

The International Language & Business Centre (ILBC) was founded in 1995 to meet the need for a quality private school in the education sector. Since then, ILBC has played a pioneering role in the private education sector. Over the years, it gained the trust of parents and students, and has grown rapidly as a quality education service provider in Myanmar serving the educational needs of over 16,000 students in 36 campuses in nine major cities of the country.

ILBC offers Technology Integrated Learning (TIL), Preschool Remote Learning (PRL), and Technology Based Learning (TBL) programmes. ILBC has always been a traditional school with manual paper-and-pen examinations. During 2020, the school implemented a solution for digital examinations. Two years later, ILBC is now a pioneering school leading digital transformation for Future Learning Assessment in Asia.

Which are ILBC�s favorite features of Dugga?

  • Dugga offers many question types, with Essay, True/False, Right Place, and Order being the most popular. The Randomize Answer Options feature prevents students from sharing answers and cheating during exams.
