Beaconhouse student attains 28 A grades in O Level exams
Islamabad: A student of Beaconhouse Complex Islamabad, Syed Zohaib Asad, astonished every one by
acquiring 28 A s in Cambridge O Level examination, setting a new record at
international level. Zohaib Asad became an Outstanding Cambridge Learner
Award Winner after gaining higher marks in June 2010 Cambridge O Level
examinations in the course Human and Social Biology . Earlier, Ibrahim
Shahid, another student of Beaconhouse School System, has attained 23 A s in O
Level exams and made a record. Syed Zohaib Asad has emerged as a symbol
of pride for the nation through gaining such remarkable success that his
teachers and fellows are feeling pride of having interaction with
him. Zohaib first took medicine as his domain of subjects but turned to
Economics and Business soon after discovering his interest and potential. I
changed my subjects in the middle of O Level study period and prepared exams in
the time period of six months, he said. I spared seven to eight hours a
day for the preparation of my exams with full concentration. It is important to
give quality time to the studies with entire focus on every subject, Zohaib
said. Zohaib is eager to serve his country after studies and want to go
for specialisation in Economics and join Finance Ministry. He also urged the
students not to strive for breaking records but serve the country with
dedication. For Zohaib, home environment plays greater role in the
success of any student as he says, I am fortunate to have such parents who
provided me a relaxed atmosphere to concentrate fully on my studies.
Zohaib expressed dissatisfaction over prevailing discriminatory
educational system in the country and said that there must be unified curricula
and equal access to educational opportunities for every child. Students
must not rely on guides, key books and guess papers as well as rote learning for
preparation of exams and thoroughly comprehend the concepts as it could better
develop analytical approach in them, he said. Identifying talent or potential of
the students at their teenage can help adopt career oriented studies and
productive fields in a long run. Parents and teachers must invoke the talents in
students and not impose their own ideas, he said. Students must have
confidence in their inner abilities and should work for making a better
Pakistan, he said. He attributes his success to the efforts of Principal
of Beaconhouse Educational Complex, Mrs Mehar Asad and Chief Examination
Officer, Fauzia Rizwan and his parents Dr Saeed Asad Ali and Talat Jabeen
Shirazi. Zohaib is fond of playing cricket and football and take part in
contests. Zohaib s father is a doctor and his mother has done Masters in Islamic
Studies. Zohaib idealises Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah as a role
model and wants to follow his footsteps and contribute for his country and
giving it recognition.
