Twenty-one top-performing learners from South African schools have received awards from the British Council for their exceptional performance in this year’s Cambridge International exams.
Mufarawashe Ronald from Midrand Christian College was among the top achievers as he excelled in Combined Science.
The ceremony took place at the Galleria in Sandton and was attended by learners, their families, school leaders, and teachers from 42 British Council Partner Schools in South Africa.
The ceremony hosted several distinguished guests including British High Commissioner, Antony Phillipson, who said, “We are so impressed with what these students have achieved and look forward to watching them continue to excel in their chosen career paths.”
Alison Sriparam, the British Council’s regional examinations director for Sub-Saharan Africa said the awards served as a platform to honour the remarkable accomplishments of learners who have demonstrated exceptional talent, dedication, and leadership within their respective fields after taking the Cambridge IGCSE O Level and A Level exams.
“It is an opportunity to celebrate the collaborative efforts of parents, teachers, and school leaders who have supported and nurtured these young individuals on their journey toward success.”
In his remarks, British Council SA country director, George Barrett, said the council aimed to provide expert operational and educational support for their partner school at every opportunity, and every level, making a difference to young lives in local communities across the world.
“We are thrilled to celebrate another cohort of young achievers and wish them all the best in their future endeavours,” said Barrett.
“Our partner school reach in South Africa has impacted more than 6 000 learners in the last year across eight cities, and our ambition is to continue growing our delivery to Cambridge candidates across all provinces of South Africa.”
