Ruchira Ghosh, Regional Director South Asia, Cambridge International Examinations, said: “It gives us immense pleasure to see learners across India successfully exhibit their passion to succeed. Their outstanding results in the Cambridge Examinations are a proof of the dedication and commitment of their teachers and the constant selfless support from their family and friends that helped them achieve this. We congratulate all these learners on their performance this year and wish them every success in all of their future endeavors.”
Mr. Biju Sudarsan, Director, Vikaasa World School,said:“It is encouraging to see our very first batch of Cambridge IGCSE students and their parents understand how this program has allowed them to be creative, while remaining competitive. Parents have realised that Cambridge International Examinations focuses on the application of skills acquired and knowledge gained rather than mere imitation of knowledge. It is encouraging to see that children with varied capabilities have multiple options in courses that suit them, that does not straitjacket them into traditional learning.”
