\u201cAKU-EB is committed to constructively preparing its students for the future by providing high quality assessments along with professional development opportunities for teachers,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

Seema Malik, Principal P.E.C.H.S Girls\u2019 School, Karachi expressed her deep confidence in the transparency exercised at AKU-EB.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe expected a top position for a couple of our students and one of them got it. We feel extremely proud of Hiba. This success is a result of mutual hard work, integrity, quality learning and appropriate guidance,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI owe this milestone to my parents, teachers and siblings who helped out at every step of my journey. I can\u2019t be thankful enough to the Almighty,\u201d said Hiba Khalid, the first position holder. \u201cMy teachers always guided me to be focused, read up reference books to grasp concepts, and master the Student Learning Outcomes provided by AKU-EB.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talking about the teachers\u2019 role in student achievement, Ms Malik said, \u201cIt is important for the teachers to understand that there could be many possible answers to the same question which helps facilitate better learning. With AKU-EB\u2019s guidance, we have been able to create a culture where students are also taking responsibility of their own learning,\u201d Ms Malik further added.<\/p>\n

The second and third position holders, Maliha Ahmed and Syeda Kanza Kazmi emphasised the importance of conceptual learning in their success. \u201cThe simplest way to excel in exams is by enriching one\u2019s learning.
