Winners of Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards announced

Islamabad

To celebrate the outstanding academic achievements of secondary school learners in Pakistan in the June and November 2015 Cambridge examination series, the Cambridge International Examinations on Wednesday announced the winners of the Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards.

Over 70 learners in Islamabad will receive awards for exceptional performance in Cambridge examinations, including 17 learners who achieved the highest marks in the world and 16 learners who attained the highest marks in Pakistan in a single subject. Many schools will be hosting individual awards ceremonies to celebrate their learners' achievements.

Pakistani Students will receive awards for highest marks in the world in Computing (Cambridge A Level), Further Mathematics (Cambridge A Level), Law (Cambridge A Level), Islamiyat (Cambridge IGCSE), Pakistan Studies (Cambridge IGCSE), Chemistry (Cambridge O Level), Computer Sciences (Cambridge O Level), Literature in English (Cambridge O Level), Economics (Cambridge O Level), Mathematics Syllabus D (Cambridge O Level), and Physics (Cambridge O Level).

The awards also celebrate the achievements of those learners who have been recognised for 'High Achievement' based on outstanding performance in subjects which are not yet so widely taken in Pakistan, and learners who have achieved the total highest cumulative marks across a number of subjects. The winning learners out-performed thousands of candidates worldwide who sat Cambridge O Levels, Cambridge IGCSEs and Cambridge International AS and A Levels.

These outstanding results will be recognised by employers and universities around the world as proof of academic excellence.

Uzma Yousuf, Country Director, Pakistan says: '"I would like to say a big congratulations to students across Pakistan on your outstanding results in the Cambridge examinations; to your teachers and principals who have helped you achieve such outstanding results; and to your parents who have guided and supported you over the years to get you to this stage. This success defines you - not just as learners, but as Cambridge learners. I wish you every success in your future."
