Cambridge International has announced that Pakistani students can now access their marked answer scripts free of cost. The initiative is designed to promote transparency and help students make informed decisions about applying for scrutiny.
This move sets Cambridge apart from local education boards in Pakistan. At the matric and intermediate levels, boards do not allow students to review their answer copies. Cambridge, however, is providing this facility without any charges.
The announcement was made in Karachi by Uzma Yousuf, Country Manager for Cambridge International in Pakistan. She was accompanied by Marketing Communication Manager Arsalan Rabbani during her visit.
Yousuf explained that all schools affiliated with Cambridge have been given access to student scripts across multiple subjects. Students can visit their respective schools to view their marked copies and then decide if they wish to apply for scrutiny. She emphasized that this process is completely free for both students and schools.
Highlighting Pakistan’s strong participation, Yousuf revealed that the country has the highest number of Cambridge O and A Level students worldwide. Over 130,000 students are currently enrolled in these programs. The United States ranks second, followed by China, India, and Dubai.
She also noted that nearly 800 schools across Pakistan are affiliated with Cambridge International. On the topic of future collaboration, she mentioned that talks have been held with Sindh Education Minister Sardar Shah. The discussion focused on linking government schools with Cambridge programs. Teacher training will be the first step, with a dedicated institution in Sindh already available to support this plan.
This initiative is expected to increase accountability in the examination system and give Pakistani students more confidence in their results. By allowing direct access to marked scripts, Cambridge aims to ensure fairness and trust in its evaluation process.
