Kathmandu: Cambridge International Education (Cambridge) has released the results of its June 2025 exam series to over 680,000 students worldwide — a 9% increase over last year — reflecting this accelerating education trend toward global readiness.
Linked to the increased number of students, the number of exam entries has risen again this June to nearly 1.7 million globally – a 7% increase on last year.
Cambridge IGCSE and O Level results were released worldwide today, and Cambridge International AS & A Level results were released on 12 August. In total there were over 9600 entries for Cambridge exams in Nepal in the June 2025 series.
As the world navigates rapid advancements in technology, manages the growing impact of climate change, and faces geopolitical shifts, more students and families in Nepal are turning to an international education.
Cambridge International AS & A Level is the most widely taken Cambridge qualification in Nepal, opening doors to top universities and future-focused careers. More than 4000 students in 22 schools in Nepal made entries for Cambridge International AS & A Level exams in the June 2025 series, with a 4% increase in entries on June 2024. The most popular subjects were Mathematics, Physics, English General Paper, Chemistry, and Computer Science.
The growing demand for Cambridge programmes is not only a testament to their academic quality, but also to a broader shift in what families and educators value: education that builds skills to work and study globally, fosters adaptability, and encourages critical engagement with real-world issues.
“We are thrilled to celebrate Cambridge learners in Nepal and recognise their hard work and success,” said Vinay Sharma, Cambridge’s Sr. Vice President for International Education in South Asia. “It’s heartening to see how parents increasingly value an education that makes learners into global citizens. The growing momentum reflects the trust placed in our rigorous, future-ready curriculum and its relevance to Nepal’s aspirations in international education.”
Satyajit Sarkar, Cambridge’s Senior Manager for International Education in South Asia, said, “The continued success of Cambridge learners in Nepal is testament to their hard work and dedication, as well as the support of their schools and families. The rising number of students taking Cambridge exams reflects the growing aspiration among parents and students for world-class education that opens doors to top universities and global opportunities.”
Demand for international education rising globally
The number of schools worldwide making entries in the June series has grown by 38% over the past five years, with an associated 74% growth in entries. In total, 5507 Cambridge International Schools in 149 countries made exam entries for the June 2025 series.
Cambridge, with more than 160 years of experience in international assessment, now serves nearly two million students annually. Its programmes – including Cambridge Checkpoint for younger learners as well as Cambridge IGCSE, O Level, International AS & A Level and the International Project Qualification – are valued by schools and universities worldwide.
