Both Curriculum for Excellence (CfE) and the International Bachelorette (IB) are very child centred. CfE and IB use an active children learning approach where the children are involved in their own learning.
CfE and PYP focus on inter-curriculum learning where the children can see the connections between the different topics and subjects helping to create an all round learning. Through this method of teaching the children gain a better understanding and more in depth comprehension of the curriculum.
PYP and CfE differ through the structure of the curriculums. PYP us a more fluid approach to learning whereas CfE has more structure in their teaching and encourages the children to follow certain aims. PYP is very student led and motivates the children to use their initiative rather than follow direct instructions and other children in the class.
Both education systems are effective in their own way and produce positive outcomes just with different overall goals.
