Tando Allahyar school runs neck and neck with the mighty KGS
Express Tribune: KARACHI: A boarding school in Tando Allahyar has accomplished what few would have wagered. It has beaten well known schools in Karachi to come right under Karachi Grammar School by bagging the third highest number of awards in the Cambridge exams.
Ten students from Sargodhian Spirit Trust Public School located in Rashidabad have scored the highest marks in Pakistan and Sindh in the O’ Level exams. It comes under The City School’s A’ Level PAF chapter with 11 awards and KGS with 27 awards, the highest.
Each year the Cambridge International Examinations unit issues a list of outstanding students who scored the highest marks in any one subject (such as History) or the best in eight subjects, in the world, their country or city. For the June 2012 examinations, these awards will go to a total of 95 students in Sindh, 13 of which made it to top in the world. The remaining 82 have either topped in Pakistan or in the province.
“I am proud to have heard this news and want to congratulate my boys for their extraordinary achievements,” said Sarghodian principal, Abdul Mujeeb. “These results would not have been possible without the facilities and environment provided by the school which coincided with the hard work of student and total dedication of the teachers.”
The teachers and principal were expecting that sort of achievement and were not surprised at all, added Fahmeed Quddus, the examinations in-charge, while talking to The Express Tribune.
