Choosing the right academic path after secondary school can feel overwhelming. With so many options out there—FSc, IB, local boards—why are so many students shifting toward Cambridge A-Levels?
Here’s why A-Levels are gaining traction around the world, especially in countries like Pakistan, the UAE, and the UK.

Pro Tip
Some universities now prefer A-Levels over national curriculums, especially for STEM and social science programmes.
