During the visit, the IBCC team was provided with an in-depth overview of OxfordAQA’s rigorous academic standards, innovative assessment methods, and their commitment to delivering high-quality education worldwide. An extensive tour of OxfordAQA’s state-of-the-art facilities highlighted their advanced technological infrastructure and quality assurance processes, ensuring the highest standards of exam integrity and delivery.

Detailed presentations and interactive sessions provided the IBCC team with a comprehensive understanding of the OxfordAQA qualification framework. Emphasis was placed on how these qualifications align with international standards and the potential benefits for Pakistani students.
Both parties expressed a keen interest in fostering a long-term partnership. Discussions included potential joint initiatives aimed at capacity building, educational research, and the development of customized qualifications to meet the specific needs of Pakistani students.
