Sharjah girl tops Pakistan board exam results in UAE

Asma Chaudhry from Pakistan Islamia Higher Secondary School, Sharjah, came top in the UAE in the Higher Secondary School Certificate (HSSC) Part-I exams scoring an impressive 486 out of 550.

Girls once again outshone boys in the HSSC (class XI) exams, whose results were announced by the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Islamabad, on Thursday.
