Bahrain: 99 students achieving outstanding results in recent GSCE, IB and A Level exams have been presented with medals at a ceremony held recently in Bahrain recently.
38 of these students were presented with an Award from Pearson, an awarding organisation offering internationally accredited qualifications which include the GSCE, A Level and BTEC qualifications.
The award recipients have all achieved exceptional academic results, and many have gone on to undertake prestigious courses at some of the world’s leading universities, including Mechanical Engineering at Princeton University, Medicine at Ireland’s Royal College of Surgeons, Law at the University of Aberdeen and Architecture at Cornell University.
Approximately 300 educators, parents and students attended the ceremony, held at Saint Christopher’s School, Bahrain.
Nassim Ershaed, Pearson’s Regional Director in Bahrain said he was delighted to hear of the talent coming out of Bahrain’s schools.
“The caliber of graduates on show here today is testament to the standard of education on offer at schools such as St Christopher’s. That these graduates have gone on to undertake arduous degrees at some of the world’s most prestigious universities is testament to the hard work and determination of these graduates, and the excellent grounding provided by their school and their teachers. On behalf of Pearson, I would like to extend my congratulations to everyone receiving an award in this ceremony and I wish them all the very best in their future studies and future careers”.
Zain Husain, who undertook A Level qualifications in Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Physics, said he was excited about his future after completing the programme. He is currently studying medicine at the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom
“It is great that at Saint Christopher’s students can undertake qualifications that are recognised by some of the best universities in the world, allowing students like myself to gain entry to institutions overseas. I also know that employers here in the Middle East respect qualifications like the A Levels as they are well known for being a sign of quality”.
