The British Council Thursday announced that all the Cambridge school exams scheduled for May 12 (tomorrow) have been cancelled due to the unsafe situation in Pakistan.
According to a statement issued, the British Council said that all the exams scheduled — for both morning and evening shifts — have been cancelled.
“We would like to reiterate that we are actively working with Cambridge to agree next steps, and we will provide more information as soon as possible,” the statement said.
Due to the ongoing situation in the country, we have cancelled all Cambridge International, Pearson & University of London exams scheduled across Pakistan on Friday 12 May.
We are communicating with affected candidates via schools and with private candidates directly, it added.
British Council Country Director Amir Ramzan and Country Director with Cambridge International Examinations Uzma Yousuf expressed their support for candidates and parents during this difficult time.
“Cancelling the exams on 10, 11 and 12 May has been a difficult decision. Your safety and well-being come first, and that’s why we have taken the decision we have.
“We know this is a crucial time in your academic journey, and the disruption caused by the current situation is not ideal. We want to reassure you that we are doing everything we can to ensure that Cambridge students can continue their education journey without any interruption,” said the statement.
