Aga Khan High School has awarded their best students in International General Certificate of Secondary Education and International Baccalaureate diploma with a two-year pre-university course.
Paul Barughare and Disha Parikh were the two most outstanding performers of 2007 in International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) with Nishala Bandali emerging top with 45 points in International Baccalaureate (IB). Announcing the results at the school last Wednesday, the head teacher Ms Margaret Radier said overall as a school, the average score of all the results was 30 out of 45 which is 75 per cent performance.
“World average for the year is 29 meaning Aga Khan obtained one point above world average,” said Ms Radier.
The Chief Executive Officer Aga Khan School, Ms Margaret Bell commended the students for being outstanding and urged the rest to follow the act.
Ms Bell explained that Aga Khan high school has trained seven teachers in International Baccalaureate to teach and handle the program.
“In some schools which have these programs, teachers leave the students to decide while here [at Aga Khan] we chase the students to meet deadlines,” said Ms Bell.
It was the first class of IB at Aga Khan High school.
