The British Council has honoured 64 outstanding students from 30 English-medium schools across Bangladesh at its Scholars’ Award 2026 ceremony, recognising exceptional academic achievements in international examinations.
The prestigious event was held on Saturday at the Radisson Blu Dhaka Water Garden, bringing together students, parents, educators, and distinguished guests to celebrate academic excellence.
The awards recognised students who achieved the highest distinction grades in their May/June 2026 Cambridge International and Pearson Edexcel O Level, IGCSE, International GCSE, and A Level examinations, which are administered by the British Council on behalf of UK examination boards.
To qualify for the award, students were required to obtain distinction grades in:
- Nine or more subjects at O Level, IGCSE, or International GCSE level
- Five or more subjects at A Level
Of the 64 recipients, 57 students from O Level and IGCSE/International GCSE programmes received scholarships worth Tk25,000 each, sponsored by **City Bank PLC.
Meanwhile, the remaining seven A Level awardees were presented with special gift vouchers provided by GoZayaan, the event’s official travel partner.
British Council officials said the annual awards aim to recognise academic excellence, encourage outstanding educational achievement, and inspire students to pursue higher goals in their academic and professional journeys.
The Scholars’ Award programme remains one of the most prestigious recognitions for students undertaking internationally accredited examinations in Bangladesh, highlighting exceptional performance and dedication in academic studies.
The ceremony concluded with congratulations to all award recipients and appreciation for the contributions of schools, teachers, and families who helped support the students’ success.
