Students from Uzbekistan set a record on Pearson exams
The Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards are presented annually to students who achieve the highest results in selected subjects in the Pearson Edexcel international examinations.
This year, more than 2,700 students from 740 schools in 85 countries worldwide received this award. Pearson is one of the UK’s leading international education companies, with Edexcel programs taught in more than 80 countries.
It is remarkable that students from Uzbekistan have achieved a historic milestone in global education. For the first time, 15 students from the Presidential Schools have received 16 awards from the prestigious international Outstanding Pearson Learner Awards.
These strong results came from the Pearson Edexcel International GCSEs held in June 2026, where students demonstrated their knowledge and potential.
It is gratifying that 10 results have been recognized as the Highest Mark in the World, including 8 in physics and 2 in biology.
In addition, 6 results were recognized in the Highest Mark in Uzbekistan category: 4 in Mathematics and 2 in Chemistry.
These achievements result from government policies focused on advancing Uzbekistan’s education system, ensuring quality education for the younger generation, and fully supporting talented young people.
