Cambridge International recently announced the Outstanding Learners’ Awards based on the students’ academic achievements in the June 2016 Cambridge Exam series.

“Being in the spotlight and achieving excellent grades is a matter of great honor and pride. Students should never compromise on virtues like honesty, compassion, respect and tolerance, which are essential to become responsible citizens,” Khan said.
He emphasized that it should be every student’s endeavor to become a true Muslim and be respectful toward teachers and parents.
