Recently, in 2023, Pearson Edexcel has rewarded some of the students in Al Ain Academy for receiving outstanding results because of their performances at IGCSE or A-level. Some of the students are: Yusri Rayan Attoub, Kareem El Barbary, Vijval Datta, Omar Anwar and for A-levels Maya Nourse who got first place in the world for History and first in the Middle East for Geography. Down below are the interviews I did asking a couple of those students (whom I could reach), for their opinions.
