KARACHI: Twenty three students from Karachi have achieved top positions in the world in O’ and A’ level examination held under Cambridge University and all over 52 students achieved distinctions.

This was stated by Regional Manager South Asia, University of Cambridge International Examinations, William Bickerdike while addressing a news conference at the British Deputy HighCommission here on Tuesday.

Director Examination Services Pakistan of the British Council, John Gildea, Provincial Director British Council Sindh and Balochistan, Syed Mashood Rizvi, and Director Examinations Karachi of the British Council, Asim Saeed Khan, were also present on the occasion.

Bickerdike pointed out that 52 students from Pakistan achieved the highest examination result in the world for a Cambridge O- level, an international AS level or an international A- level.

Of these, as many as 23 were from Karachi, he further stated.

"Pakistani students have been consistently performing very strongly", Bickerdike remarked.

"I have always been impressed by the high standard of the marks which they achieve in their examinations", he added.

Bickerdike said that to achieve the highest global marks in the face of so much competition from the rest of the world is all the more commendable.

John Gildea also praised the performance of the students from Pakistan in the CIE examinations.:pakistan:
 
It is indeed goods news to hear that our Pakistani brothers and sisters are some of the most distinct intullectuals in the world. We as a nation should be proud of such people and use their services as much as we can in developing Pakistan into a modern society.
 
"...are some of the most distinct intullectuals..."
intellectuals! its o'levels mate. they're kids.

:lol: Sorry guys, but I was waiting for someone to make this comment.

Of course, my congratulations to all the kids, but is it really newsworthy?
 
Hey all these students were studied in Cambridge or just gave O, A level exam sitting in Pakistan? If second is true, then at least in India no one cares about these exams and industry do not consider them at all.

These days in India no MNC or Indian companies will consider O or A level exam or any part time degree or diploma. Minimum educational requirement is Full time degree.
 
a very good news for pakis after long time, at least this news can be seen as the future of pakistan will be in the hands of better people.
wishing all the kids great future.
