Re: Pakistani students Shine!
malhotrey, barnool lagga oye!
The system is designed by the University of Cambridge, local examinations syndicate, and is one of the best in the world. A student who has done his Alevels, basically gets 8 credit hours for every subject he takes in Alevels in a US College, saving him about 2-3 semesters, so you can judge by that how good the system is, and how its evaluated.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
hmmmmm..
lets review
*ISLAMABAD, Feb 22: Building on their brilliant performance, Pakistani boys and girls brought laurels to their country by outshining international students in the recent O and **A *level examinations of the University of Cambridge.
and..
This was followed by an equally spectacular award ceremony to recognise GCE, ACCA and University of London High Achievers.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
^ haha
I just wish the standard of education was the same all over Pakistan, which includes zillion of private schools in Karachi.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
Unfortunately, I have studied 'O' levels, since my dad had been posted to Tanzania (E. Africa)
The standard was very low especially in maths & science, compared to what I had learnt at school in India, my results were impressive. Even English was very easy, Hindi studies perhaps a 12 year old could have done well!!
But when I joined University in India, I always felt I was struggling trying to catch up to what the Indian students had learnt at an Indian school.
Perhaps 'A' levels has a decent standard, but do not forget you'll have to study an additional 2 years just to join university.
Perhaps the 'O' levels is of a better standard in England? Pakistan? But I doubt it.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
perhaps being the key word.
what made you go to a third rate school with low standards in tanzania anyways?
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
I remember during my school days, students were supposed get their dad's or mom's signatures on evaluated answersheets.
One guy who got 1 out of 100 in maths exam brought back the answersheet with a 'thumb impression' of his dad. Poor teacher could not say anything. Generally parents used to add remarks to the answersheet before signing.
But this guy's dad was a senior bureaucrat and very well known to the principle. One day class teacher was summoned by principle who was eager to know what the bureaucrat dad had written and was stunned to see a thumb impression instead of signatures.
uske baad kya hua..hamare claasmate ki dhunayi pe dhunayi. double whammy...now he runs a profitable transport business.

Chanda, I seriously doubt you have any clue as to what you are talking about. First of all, the GCE examinations that is being talked about, is designed by the University of Cambridge LES, and is the hardest in difficulty, even harder than that of the Univ of London and Univ of Oxford, so your attempts at typical anti-pakistani rhetoric failed miserably. And youre such a goofball, O and A levels have the same standards! They are just different stages, its like saying the curriculum of class 7 is better than the curriculum of class 9!

hahaha we all have done some topi drama at one point in time or another, ofcourse the following chitrol is a standard procedure

hahaha ok i didnt read that before, but you have NO clue what you are talking about! You dont have to study two additional years in college if you do your alevels, you GET two years off, as you get credits for all the pre reqs, so its obvious to me you didnt do any O/A levels. Nice try though, didnt work, maybe next time you should do some research. Even pakistani kids doing well causes so much jealousy amongst u Indians, sheesh!
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
I gave you my experience! if you don't believe it thats OK by me.
Your loss!!
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
and what exactly have we lost?
p.s. haha, it's fun to pull the legs of our neighbours. :o
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
Most Indians do well overseas this is because Indian education standards are quite high, definately higher than GCE ‘O’ Levels.
It’s pakistans loss, if it thinks ‘O’ levels is of a very high standard - if so, they need to devise a better standard within their own country, to retain International competitiveness.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
^ I suggest you go do something productive with your education.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
Way to go Pakis
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
LOL… Why embarass yourself further?
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
itna jalnay tapnay ki kya zaroorat hai. I mean I am not at some indian forum putting down indian accomplishments :)
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
Meaningless chatter.
It is a fact that Asian kids are very studious irrespective of they being Pakistanis, Indians or Chinese. Indians and Chinese will be in large numbers because of huge population these countries have and intense competition at home.
Re: Pakistani students Shine!
Can you prove it? Those that do their GCE O/A Levels, and get straight As are gauranteed admission to places like Cambrigdge University etc, and its quite apparent to me you have no clue what you are talking about as I have already proven to me what the difficulty standards are. And no, the local Indian system (which relies more on cramming) does not even come close to this superior system of education, agar bongi marni hai, tu aisi maro which is atleast belieavable. Also, almost all colleges in the US and UK (and some other countries) consider this standard equivalent to advanced coursework and give college credit, whereas they dont do that for local systems like the ‘Indian matriculation’.
