"Congratulations to all our students receiving results today and next week,” said Rod Smith, Group Managing Director for International Education at Cambridge. “More students are turning to our A levels because they combine deep subject knowledge with the skills universities and employers value most. This year's continued growth shows that more students than ever recognise the power of that combination in a world shaped by AI. I believe Cambridge International AS & A levels will matter even more in the years ahead.”

Vinay Sharma, Senior Vice President for International Education, South Asia, Cambridge, said, "Congratulations to all students receiving their results this year. The continued growth in Cambridge entries across Bangladesh reflects the increasing importance that students, parents and schools place on an education that prepares learners not only for university, but for success in a rapidly changing world. We are seeing strong interest in qualifications that develop deep subject knowledge alongside critical thinking, problem-solving and communication skills. As technology and artificial intelligence continue to reshape the future of work, learners are increasingly seeking educational pathways that equip them with the confidence and capabilities to thrive in higher education and future careers."

Congratulating all the learners, Sarwat Reza, Cambridge Country Lead for Bangladesh, said, "We are seeing increasing numbers of students and families in Bangladesh choosing Cambridge because they value its combination of academic rigour, international recognition and future-focused learning. The Cambridge curriculum helps learners develop not only strong subject knowledge but also the critical thinking, communication and problem-solving skills that universities and employers seek. Whether students aspire to pursue higher education in Bangladesh or internationally, Cambridge qualifications provide trusted pathways that open doors to opportunities around the world while preparing young people to thrive in a fast-changing and increasingly interconnected future."

Cambridge qualifications are recognised by leading universities and employers worldwide, giving Bangladesh learners access to higher education opportunities both locally and internationally. Cambridge International A levels are widely accepted for university admission and are trusted for their academic rigour. Learners can choose subject combinations that align with their interests, strengths and career aspirations, whether in science, technology, business, humanities or the arts. This flexibility helps students build pathways suited to their individual ambitions. By combining academic rigour with transferable skills and an international outlook, Cambridge helps learners become adaptable, resilient and prepared to contribute to Bangladesh's economic growth and to a globally connected future.

Cambridge recently announced its formal entity operations in Bangladesh, reflecting a long-term commitment to empowering learners and supporting teachers across the country. Dedicated local teams will work closely with schools and the wider education community, providing on-the-ground support and resources aligned to Bangladesh's educational context.

Trusted by the world's leading universities

Cambridge International A levels' standing as a route into higher education is borne out by new UCAS application data: 98% of Cambridge International A level students who applied to UK universities in the 2025 cycle received at least one offer of a place, demonstrating the strength of the qualification as a proven pathway to higher education.  

Kevin Ebenezer, Director of University Pathways and Progression at Cambridge, said, "Cambridge International A levels continue to earn the confidence of the world's leading universities because they prepare students not simply to gain admission, but to thrive once they arrive. As higher education becomes increasingly competitive, universities are looking for students with academic depth, resilience, and the ability to think independently. Our qualifications develop those qualities. Today, Cambridge learners represent around one in eight international students entering UK universities, providing compelling evidence of the enduring value and global recognition of Cambridge International A levels."

The flexibility of Cambridge International AS & A levels also provides the option for students to stay in their home country to study. "International education with Cambridge is as international as necessary, but as local as possible. Whether students choose to study at home or abroad, Cambridge International qualifications open doors to opportunity and prepare learners for success in a rapidly changing world," adds Rod.

The June series marked another milestone for the Cambridge international community, with the first exams delivered on screen across a range of subjects. Developed together with schools to ensure real choice and flexibility, this on-screen exam programme is being rolled out as an additional option for those who prefer it to paper exams, reflecting Cambridge's breadth of choice as the largest provider of school-age international education.

Cambridge IGCSE and O Level results will be released to over 315,000 students in 4949 schools worldwide on 18 August.
