Doha College, one of the oldest international schools in Qatar, is celebrating the success of their students who achieved excellent results in (i)GCSEs, Advances Subsidiary and Advanced Level examinations, opening up a future of endless opportunities and educational paths towards world-class universities.
For this cohort of examination students, context has never been more meaningful in interpreting their results, it was explained in a statement on Wednesday. A global pandemic prevented in-person examinations from taking place in the preceding two years, alongside the dramatic change in the provision of education and interaction. It has been an extraordinary achievement that, this year, their results have surpassed their pre-pandemic performance.
Of the AS, A Level and BTEC examination results, 65.9% were in the A*-A band, 84.8% were A*-B, and 94.5% were A*-C, with an outstanding 100% pass rate.
In (i)GCSEs, Doha College scored even higher, with 84.2% in the A*-A band, 95.9% in the A*-B and the 97.4% in the A*-C band.
Martin George, principal of Doha College, said: “The superb A Level and (i)GSCE results achieved by our students are a vivid testament to their hard work and resilience in the face of so many unprecedented challenges over the past two years. These results also demonstrate the outstanding professionalism and dedication of the Doha College staff. As the new Principal, I am deeply impressed to see the high standards of performance which so clearly define the culture of the College.”
Jerome Scafe, Doha College’s head of Secondary, was elated with the results, saying: “It shouldn’t be overstated, the colossal impact that Covid-19 had on the education of our students, which brought an unprecedented disruption to their social norms and mental well-being. But in this first set of student-completed examinations since 2019, we have seen evidence of extraordinary perseverance, grit and skill from our community, enabling students to go into exams fully equipped, irrespective of external forces. I am confident that the feeling of pride that overflows within us all will propel us forward as we go full steam ahead in actualising our vision for all students this academic year.”
