Broad multi-sectoral action is required to end the tuberculosis (TB) epidemic by 2030 and this includes National TB Programmes (NTPs) fully delivering on quality-assured diagnostic, treatment and preventive services. Large implementation gaps currently exist in the delivery of these services, which can be addressed and closed through the discipline of operational research. This paper outlines the TB disease burden and disease-control programme implementation gaps in the Asia-Pacific region; discusses the key priority areas in diagnosis, treatment and prevention where operational research can be used to make a difference; and finally provides guidance about how best to embed operational research within a TB programme setting. Achieving internationally agreed milestones and targets for case finding and treatment requires the NTP to be streamlined and efficient in the delivery of its services, and operational research provides the necessary evidence-based knowledge and support to allow this to happen.

Adoption of the International Baccalaureate (IB) programs in the Asia Pacific region has accelerated at great speed in recent years, with one or more of its programs being employed in 158 countries in 5,284 schools worldwide. The growing interest of IB programs in the Asia Pacific region is largely due to its educational philosophy and progressive pedagogy that is appealing to many educators and parents who seek a high-quality education. However, various contextual and cultural factors need to be considered when it is being implemented within the national school system.
