In the first episode of the new season of the Tes International podcast we chat with the director-general of the International Baccalaureate, Olli-Pekka Heinonen, to discuss his plans to transform the organisation in a post-pandemic world.

This includes everything from how he is looking to embrace digital assessment to how he is thinking about remodelling the Diploma Programme based on his educational maxim of 'head, heart and hands'.

He also outlines why he wants to broaden access to the IB to more schools worldwide and the challenges the pandemic has caused - and the opportunities it has created.

We also touch on why he wanted to take on such a challenging role and why the history of the IB and the innovation shown by his predecessors has been occupying a lot of his head space since taking on the role in May 2021.
