Islamabad: August 10,2023: More than 45,000 students in Pakistan are receiving their Cambridge International AS & A Level results today, with Cambridge IGCSE and O Level results due out next week. These results mark
the end of an important phase of their lives and ready them for their next step in the world, whether in work or continuing their studies.
Cambridge International, a not-for-profit organisation, part of the world-renowned University of Cambridge and the world’s largest provider ofinternational education programmes and qualifications
for 3 to 19 year olds, will release results from its June 2023 exam series to over half a million students
worldwide, including over 100,000 students in Pakistan combined for IGCSE, O Level and International
AS & A Level.
This year saw Cambridge International’s largest exam series to date, with 1.7 million entries for
Cambridge exams across 5,600 schools in 147 countries for all qualifications combined. An increase of
11% on June 2022.
Despite the challenges of the pandemic over the past few years, students in Pakistan have been able
to gain the qualifications they need to take their next step, which is proof of their hard work and the
continued support of their schools, teachers, families and communities.
Cambridge International has also ensured that students whose exams were cancelled in May due to social unrest in Pakistan have been able to continue their education without interruption. Cambridge has well-established processes for awarding results to candidates who are unable to take an exam
component in such circumstances. The grades for Cambridge International A Level History and Mathematics, for which exams were rescheduled due to the disruption, were also released today.
In total, more than 118,000 entries were made for Cambridge International AS & A Level in the June 2023 series in Pakistan, a rise of 10 per cent since June 2022. The most popular subjects were Physics, Mathematics and Chemistry.
On the June 2023 exam series, Rod Smith, Group Managing Director, International Education at Cambridge, said: “I congratulate Cambridge students for their hard work in achieving these results.
They have shown great resilience over the past few years and have kept on moving forward with their
education. With these qualifications our students can feel confident that they have developed the skills
they need for the future, so they can embrace whatever opportunities lie ahead.
“I also want to thank Cambridge schools and teachers, who once again have displayed tremendous
commitment and passion for education that has been core to their students’ success.”
Uzma Yousuf, Country Director, Pakistan, Cambridge International said: “I would like to congratulate all
Cambridge students in Pakistan on their remarkable achievements in the Cambridge International AS & A Level results today. This success is particularly significant, given the challenges posed by another year. Marked with a volatile political landscape in the country, resulting in a three-day exam cancellation, this exam series epitomised resilience. I am glad that we were able to reschedule the two
cancelled A Level exams successfully and see our learners complete their academic journeys and transition to the next phases of their learning.
“I would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to the dedicated teachers, schools, and families for their unwavering commitment to Cambridge students during this time. Your steadfast support has been
instrumental in propelling Cambridge students toward their well-earned academic aspirations.
“I would also like to appreciate the diligence of our partner, the British Council, and all those who worked
tirelessly to ensure that Cambridge exams were held seamlessly under a safe and secure environment.”
More than 750 schools across Pakistan offer Cambridge programmes and qualifications to their students. The Cambridge Pathway curriculum offers flexibility and choice to students and schools, with over 70 subjects available at Cambridge IGCSE, over 40 subjects at Cambridge O Level, and over 55
subjects at Cambridge International AS & A level.
