Pakistani students, who received their Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) AS and A-Level results, were dismayed as they found themselves with grades of Cs and Es, leading them to express that an injustice had been done.
In response to the extensive criticism and calls for a re-evaluation of its grading system for this year’s ‘disappointing results’ among Pakistani students, Cambridge International announced that the standard for this year has been brought back to the level of the pre-pandemic year 2019.
