"I would like you to take particular note of the remarkable performance of candidates from Dar El Tarbiah. The first candidates from Dar El Tarbiah took the IGCSE soon after its introduction into Egypt in 1991, and since then the School has made a major contribution to the development of the IGCSE In Egypt.

With more than 900 candidates, the School is the largest in the world offering Cambridge Examiners and is well known in Cambridge for its remarkable results in all subjects. The students from Dar El Tarbiah are amongst the very best IGCSE students in the world. Evidence of their excellence is certainly not hard to find, and the following observations clearly indicate their remarkable achievements.” (Please refer to the evidences attached to this report) “As you can see, the performance of the Dar El Tarbiah students is remarkable by all standards.

It is hardly surprising that the IGCSE candidates from the School have been so successful at winning places at the universities, and all the evidence is that they continue to do very welt after they haw left the School.”

Occasion: Dar El Tarbiah Outstanding Performance

"For the first time in 1994, UCLES awarded the Grade A* (the 'starred’ A (grade), a grade reserved for only the very best candidates. In the UK and the rest of the world, only about 3% of candidates were awarded this top grade, but in Dar El Tarbiah, the grade was awarded to many more than this. In computer studies, for example, almost 25% of the candidates were graded A*, and in Physics 185 out of the 26 Dar El Tarbiah students (43%) were awarded A* or A. This is a remarkable achievement.” "The standard of mathematics teaching in the School and the achievement of the candidates must be as good as anywhere in the world.” “I have studied the results very carefully, and there are many examples of outstanding achievement amongst the Dar El Tarbiah 16
