Cambridge International Education June 2025 exam results released in Sri Lanka

As the world navigates rapid advancements in technology, manages the growing impact of climate change, and faces geopolitical shifts, more students and families in Sri Lanka are turning to an international education. 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.

Today, over 1800 students from 33 schools in Sri Lanka have received their Cambridge IGCSE and O Level results. In total, they made over 9,500 entries for Cambridge IGCSE and O Level exams in the June 2025 series. The most popular subjects at Cambridge IGCSE were Mathematics, First Language English, Information and Communication Technology, Business Studies and Physics. At Cambridge O Level, English Language, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics and Biology emerged as the popular subjects.

Cambridge International AS & A Level results were released on 12 August to over 1600 students in schools across Sri Lanka, opening doors to top universities and future-focused careers. There were over 4450 entries for Cambridge International AS & A Level exams in the June 2025 series. The most popular subjects were Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Biology, and Business.

Vinay Sharma, Cambridge’s Sr. Vice President for International Education in South Asia, said, “Congratulations to all the students receiving their Cambridge results this August. These achievements reflect a commitment to becoming future-ready global citizens. At Cambridge, we believe education is a powerful force for transformation—one that equips learners with the skills and confidence to thrive in a rapidly evolving world.”

Zahara Ansary, Cambridge’s Country Head, Sri Lanka and the Maldives, said, “Sri Lanka continues to be a dynamic hub for Cambridge learners and we are proud to work closely with our partner schools to nurture global readiness. Our team in Sri Lanka remains committed to supporting schools and learners in ways that reflect Cambridge’s high standards and the aspirations of the local education community. We are encouraged by the growing investment in teacher professional development and the use of trusted, curriculum-aligned learning resources ensuring students are equipped to succeed in both local and global contexts.” 

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. 

The growth is not only a testament to the academic quality of Cambridge programmes 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.

Cambridge, with more than 160 years of experience in international assessment, now serves nearly two million students annually. Its assessments — 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.
