Cambridge announces outstanding learners’ awards

Karachi  

The Cambridge International Examinations on Wednesday announced the achievers of the ‘Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards’, from Karachi and other parts of Pakistan.

A CIE official said the awards celebrated the outstanding academic achievements of secondary school learners in Pakistan in the June and November 2015 Cambridge examination series.

He further said that more than 85 learners in Karachi would receive awards for exceptional performance in Cambridge examinations, including 11 learners who achieved the highest
marks in the world and 19 who attained the highest marks in Pakistan in a single subject.

The awards also celebrate the achievements of those students 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 official mentioned that the winning learners outperformed thousands of candidates worldwide who sat Cambridge O Levels, Cambridge IGCSEs and Cambridge International AS and A Levels.

He noted that these outstanding results would be recognised by employers and universities around the world as proof of academic excellence.

CIE Country Director Uzma Yousuf 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,” said CIE Country Director Uzma Yousuf.
