Bangladeshi students win awards for top results in Cambridge exams
December 7, 2008
Bangladeshi students who excelled in the Cambridge O Level and International A/AS Level examinations held in June 2008 received awards at the Brilliance in Bangladesh ceremony in Dhaka on Saturday 29 November, hosted by University of Cambridge International Examinations (CIE). Over 80 awards were presented to students who achieved the highest marks in a single Cambridge O Level or International A/AS Level examination, or a group of subjects.
Four Bangladeshi students have each won one of CIE’s prestigious Top in the World awards for their outstanding performance in a single Cambridge O Level. The winning students outperformed Cambridge O Level candidates worldwide in Art, Bengali, Computer Studies, and Human and Social Biology. CIE received Cambridge O Level entries from over 80 countries during the last academic year, and so to achieve a Top in the World award is a terrific result for these students and their schools.
Sixteen Bangladeshi students gained more than 8 A grades at Cambridge O Level, including Md. Raihanul Islam from Oxford International School in Dhaka who scored an impressive 10 A grades. Cambridge O Level and International A/AS Level examinations are recognised and valued by universities and employers around the world, and so give students a solid foundation for further success.
The awards were presented at the Brilliance in Bangladesh ceremony by Charles Nuttell, Country Director of BC, Bangladesh, Guy Lane, Sales Director of CIE was also present at the ceremony. The students were also congratulated by Ian Chambers, CIE’s Regional Manager for South Asia and Suzy Chowdhury, CIE’s Regional Representative in Bangladesh. Suzy Chowdhury said: ‘I am delighted to have this opportunity to congratulate students on their top exam performances. The popularity of Cambridge examinations is rapidly increasing in Bangladesh as schools and students seek out modern qualifications that are securely rooted in academic research.’.
