Graduates of four Presidential Schools will receive A-level certificates (certificate of advanced secondary education), which make it possible to enroll in universities in Great Britain and other countries of the world, along with local certificates of general secondary education.
Presidential schools in Nukus, Khiva, Namangan and Tashkent have simultaneously successfully passed accreditation of the Cambridge Assessment International Education and received the status of Cambridge International School.
Obtaining the status of Cambridge International School confirms that the curriculum and examination process of the Presidential Schools in Nukus, Khiva, Namangan and Tashkent meets the requirements and standards of the Cambridge curriculum.
A-Level is a curriculum, which envisaged by the British education system and leads to the receipt of a certificate of complete secondary education. Based on the results of their studies, students take exams and receive an A-level certificate. After that, certificate holders can go to university to get their first education (bachelor’s degree). Based on the results of the A-Level exams, the admissions committees of universities judge the knowledge and skills of the applicant and make a decision on enrollment in the university.
The Agency for Development of Presidential, Creative and Specialized Schools (PIIMA) under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan and the administration of Presidential Schools began preparations for Cambridge Assessment International Education accreditation in early 2020.
The accreditation process includes several stages. At the last stage, Cambridge Assessment International Education specialists visit the educational institution and make a decision on accreditation. In connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, British experts conducted a “virtual visits” to the Presidential Schools and gave a positive opinion on the accreditation of educational institutions.
- Obtaining the Cambridge Assessment International Education accreditation confirms that the students of the Presidential Schools receive knowledge in accordance with high standards. A bonus for our students will be that, based on the results of the exams, they can receive an A-level certificate, which enables our graduates to enroll in universities in Great Britain and other countries,” noted the director of the PIIMA Agency Khilola Umarova.
It should be noted that interested persons, who study outside the system of PIIMA, can also register and take part in A-level exams, organized by the Presidential schools.
Also, Presidential Schools have the opportunity to conduct International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) exams for students, who graduated from grade 9.
