The true test is their ability to engage with what they do not know and to devise solutions, using their capacity for inquiry, critical thinking and problem solving. — His Highness the Aga Khan Chancellor, Aga Khan University Interview from the IB World Magazine, October 2018 2 About Aga Khan University Examination Board The Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) is Pakistan’s first private autonomous examination body for Secondary School Certificate (SSC) and Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC). The board also offers an innovative Middle School Programme (MSP) to help students transition into secondary school through project-based learning. AKU-EB’s primary purpose is to improve the quality of education by delivering high quality, accessible syllabi and examinations across the nation, in accordance with the National Curriculum of Pakistan. AKU-EB qualifications are recognised and valued by leading higher education institutions, both nationally and internationally. The Examination Board was established in August 2003 by the Aga Khan University, in accordance with Ordinance CXIV of the Government of Pakistan. Vision Mission Values • To increase access to quality education for lower and middle income students at a secondary • Impact and higher secondary To be a model of school level. • Quality excellence and • To inculcate a culture of innovation in education higher order thinking in • Relevance for Pakistan and the the youth through indigenous educational developing world. development and • Access assessment programmes. • To acquire new knowledge through research and share best practices in education. 3 President’s Message A bright future beckons Each year, I am reminded that Pakistan is a nation full of talent, due to the extraordinary young students that push the boundaries of academic excellence during their secondary education. Nowhere is this more clearly reflected than in the minds and hearts of high achievers such as yourselves. By distinguishing yourselves among your peers, you have not only maintained and upheld the high standards of the Aga Khan University Examination Board’s assessment, but have also demonstrated your capabilities in a diverse array of academic subjects. This is cause for both optimism and hope among all of us. Congratulations to all of you! I also extend my gratitude to all those who have contributed to your success. Each of you represents your school, your family and your community, and I urge you to never forget the tremendous investments and sacrifices made by them to see you through this period. The education you have received aims to build global citizens equipped with 21st century skills who are self-motivated and confident decision makers -- in other words, leaders and pioneers in whatever field they happen to choose. As you enter a new chapter in your life, the critical thinking and problem solving skills you have learned have not only prepared you for your higher education, but also helped you to understand how to navigate the challenges in the future. Indeed, it is my hope that your accomplishments today will serve as the foundation upon which we build this country. Congratulations to all of you, and may your success here catapult you towards new heights in the time to come! Firoz Rasul President, Aga Khan University Director’s Message Diversity is our strength Though the conclusion of a calendar year marks only a midpoint in the journey that a student takes during their academic year, it serves as an important reminder for all of us at the Aga Khan University Examination Board to reflect on the milestones and challenges seen over the past 12 months. In some ways, 2018 has continued in the grand tradition that I have come to expect: Our talented students have persevered through every challenge we have thrown at them and have not only proven that they are academically capable, but that the high standard they are held to is not misplaced. Yet in other ways, this year has also distinguished itself as being one of unprecedented triumphs. The sheer diversity of students, whether it be by gender, socio-economic background or geographical location, who have performed brilliantly under the AKU-EB system serves as an affirmation that this examination board is one that is truly accessible to all Pakistanis. When, to give but one example, two students based in locations as distant from one another as Karachi and Chitral both scored impressively on the same subject examination, it is a validation of the fair and transparent environment under which each was able to prove their capability. I am thus proud to say that this year’s results show a level of uniform excellence across Pakistan to a degree we ourselves can scarcely believe. Yet at the same time, I must also emphasize that these examinations mark the conclusion of only one stage of your education. I firmly believe that learning is a continuous, lifelong process that requires both commitment and a willingness to explore new ideas. While your studies under AKU-EB may have equipped you to become better learners, I also urge each of you to temper that ability with the humility and grace that will open new pathways to explore. As each of you embarks on the next stage of your journey, know that I am personally proud of all that you have accomplished and wish you the very best in the years to come. Congratulations!
