For schools to record International Baccalaureate students, International Baccalaureate must exist in luLearningPathway with the Synergy Meaning of IB. This configuration is also able to be completed in SynWeb via System > Interface Settings > QCAA Interface
Learning Pathway is reported to QCAA as Intended Learning Option.
