Shouldn't this have been about Pakistan's top achievers. Students from Karachi have topped in the world.
Why this result only from islamabad in Karachi also r so many high achiever r too u haven't published bat them couldn't understand .
Zain Rashid Mian from LGS parafon got a world distinction in Literature.
My cousin M. Farzan Ullah of Beacon House secured World top in Math this year. A few years back his elder brother Saad Ullah secured 2 world tops in Math and Advance Maths. Saad was given Rupees one hundred thousand by President (thx to policies initiated by so much media loathed Musharaf)... The Anti Education Democratic Govts. later on discontinued this reward and are now relying on simple certificates.
Nevertheless, Congrats to all high achievers.
Congratulations to all the High Achievers. Proud of You all!
