LAHORE:
Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) on Thursday announced the winners of its Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards.
The awards celebrate the outstanding academic achievements of secondary school learners in Pakistan in the June and November 2015 Cambridge examination series, the CIE said in a statement.
It said that many schools would host individual awards ceremonies to celebrate their learners’ achievements. It said that over 100 learners in Lahore would receive awards for exceptional performance in Cambridge examinations, including 11 learners who had achieved the highest marks in the world and 46 who had scored the highest marks in Pakistan in a subject.
The awards also celebrate the achievements of those 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 award recipients out-performed thousands of candidates worldwide who sat Cambridge O Levels, Cambridge IGCSEs and Cambridge International AS & A Levels.
These outstanding results will be recognised by employers and universities around the world as proof of academic excellence.
CIE Pakistan Country Director Uzma Yousuf said, “I would like to say a big congratulations to students across Pakistan on your outstanding results in the Cambridge examinations.”
