MALE, April 22 (HNS) -- A local girl from Aminiya School was chosen amongst the top two achievers in last year’s Cambridge O’ Level examinations. The girl who was achieved the best results in Biology and the top achiever in Cambridge International Examination was Fathmath Naaziya Abdullah (pic) from Henveiyru Bokarumaage.
In addition to receiving ‘A’ grade in Biology, Naaziya had also achieved ‘A’ in all the eight subjects she sat in last year’s examinations and also managed to get the first place in the Maldivian Top Ten O’ Level students.
“This is truly unbelievable,” said Naaziya in an interview with Haveeru Daily. “I never expected to win anything on an international level. But I was working hard on achieving the first place in the Top 10 O’ level students. I studied for Biology just as hard as I did for the other subjects. There were no differences.”
Naaziya who is currently working in Voice of Maldives on an opportunity given by Aminiya School, has made up her mind to do further studies in Medicine. Naaziya had also been awarded a scholarship for receiving first place amongst the Top 10 O’ Level students. Naaziya has also been accepted in Center for Higher Secondary Education (CHSE).
This is the first time that Cambridge University has awarded the Best 10 achievers from around the world and 15 Maldivian students were amongst the candidates selected for the list. This is also the first time in the last 44 years that a Maldivian student has achieved a position in the world top ten students. Oxford O’ Level examinations was replaced by Cambridge examination in the year 2001.
In addition to Naaziya, the other Maldivian students who were selected for World Top 10 candidates were, Aminiya students: Aishath Jumaina Ahmed, Mariyam Hishmaa Shaahidh, Mariyam Yooma and Agaram Krishnan Suvaamiyashri; Dharumavantha students: Ahmed Ameel Shakeel, Hussein Rasheed, Ali Malik Moosa and Gufuraan Abdul Gafoor; Seenu atoll Muhibudheen students: Aminath Rausha Haadhee and Hawwa Imaan; Majeedhiyaa students: Hassan Sinaan, Mohamed Naajil and Ibrahim Shiyaaz as well as Nasrullah Ali from Gaafu Dhaalu atoll Thinadhoo, Kurangi, who sat for the examination as a private candidate.
