Pakistan on the map for global recognition
Beaconhouse operates over 146 private schools in more than 30 cities across Pakistan and was one of the first school groups in the country to offer OxfordAQA. This exam session saw high achievers at all 4 of their campuses offering the qualifications, as well as a Top of World award at its central region outreach school in Kharian.
Nexus The School is a single school with separate campuses in the Gulshan-E-Iqbal town of Karachi. Securing a Go Further award is testament to their commitment to high quality international education for their students.
Subject excellence across borders
Students around the world excelled across a wide range of subjects, with standout growth in International GCSE Maths, International AS Further Maths, International AS English Literature, International AS Biology, International AS Business and International A-level Geography.
New qualifications represented this year include International AS Accounting, International AS Computer Science, International GCSE Economics, and International GCSE Psychology, among others.
Andrew Coombe, Managing Director of OxfordAQA commented: “The Go Further Awards are a powerful reflection of what OxfordAQA stands for—academic excellence, global opportunity, and future readiness. These students have not only excelled in their exams but demonstrated the kind of critical thinking and resilience that will help them thrive at university and beyond. We’re proud to celebrate their achievements and the educators who support them.”
