We are part of the University of Cambridge.  \nOur Cambridge Pathway gives students a clear path for educational success from age 5 to 19. Schools can shape the curriculum around how they want students to learn – with a wide range of subjects and flexible ways to offer them. It helps students discover new abilities and a wider world, and gives them the transferable skills they need for life, so they can achieve at school, university and work.  \nMaking the right choice  \nCambridge International qualifications are a passport to success – in education, university and work. Cambridge International education is designed for international students. Content is multicultural and a wide range of subjects are available – including many country-specific courses.  \nChoosing a course of study is one of the most important decisions a student will make. It is essential to check that qualifications are widely accepted and valued by further education institutes, universities and employers. Choosing Cambridge international qualifications opens up a world of opportunity – helping you get a place at your chosen university, or proving your achievements to your future employer.  \nRecognition in Pakistan  \nUniversities in countries around the world, including Pakistan, recognise and welcome Cambridge qualifications. The government of Pakistan recognises Cambridge qualifications and provides equivalence to the local system of education in order to ensure smooth progression for students who choose to pursue their education in Pakistan.  \nThe government body responsible for issuing equivalence conversion is the Inter Board Committee of Chairmen (IBCC) . Cambridge O Levels and Cambridge IGCSE® qualifications are equated to the local Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Cambridge International A Levels to the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) .  \nTo qualify for equivalence at the HSSC level, IBCChas published a list of compulsory and elective subjects that must be studied at Cambridge O Level, Cambridge IGCSE and Cambridge International A [Level.

Instead, we developed an alternative process for calculating results and awarding grades. Universities across Pakistan and the IBCC treated results in the same manner as those from other series.
