To ensure that the European Baccalaureate is recognised, syllabi are designed to meet at least the minimum requirements of all 27 EU member countries. Since these vary, the contents have been established by negotiation between national experts – more particularly by Committees of Inspectors – on the basis of careful scrutiny and comparison of national curricula.

Once formulated, the syllabi are officially promulgated by the Board of Governors of the European Schools, which must approve any amendments.
