Be Pakistan is proud to share that Ali Moeen Nawazish from Rawalpindi, Pakistan has entered his name in Guinness Book of World Records by setting a World Record of clearing 23 A-Level subjects and securing A Grade in 21 of them. This made him the only student in the world to appear in 23 subjects. He sat in all examinations within 12 months.
He is also the first student in the world to have secured 21 A Grades, the previous record being 13.
No wonder his remarkable success drew the attention of major international newspapers with CNN and BBC also airing his interviews.
“I had no set study plans and at one point I found myself studying one subject for five minutes before switching to the other and then the next and so on”
Ali said on telephone from England.
His success, he pointed out, became possible through a combination of hard work, planning and luck.
“While appearing in some papers I used to be the only student in the examination hall.“

In the days since his result was declared, all major dailies and news channels in the UK interviewed Ali. Now he is a celebrity on the campus.
“I have also been invited in numerous talk shows but my parents suggest that I focus more on my studies.“
Ali’s mother, Nisar Malik, a gynaecologist, says that it was all because of Allah’s blessings and the boy’s hard work. “In the beginning, I advised him not to go for so many subjects but it was his decision.”
His teachers said that even Cambridge authorities first refused to accept his request of sitting in 23 examinations. “It took a lot of effort to convince them that he had the potential of succeeding in all papers and that the timetable be made accordingly to avoid any clash of papers,” recalls Khadija Omair, director and student counselor at the Roots School System.
One of their staff members was especially deputed to guide Ali on the timetable during the examination. “The Cambridge Examination System had to hire a hotel room for the invigilator as the schedule for his examinations was odd.” At times Ali had to appear in four papers in one day starting from 8 a.m. to 9:30 p.m.
“We had to even hire teachers for some subjects exclusively for him and brought relevant books from abroad that were not available in Pakistan,” Khadija said. Read more…

No doubt we Pakistanis have the potential. We just need to little more hard work to prove again that we are a Great Nation. We must remember what Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah said
“Work, Word and More Work”
