The Outstanding Cambridge Learner Awards aims at valorising the achievement of Mauritian students who have excelled in the 2022 Cambridge O, A and AS level. Students who are presented with the Cambridge Top in the World and the Cambridge Top in Mauritius awards are those who have scored the highest mark in the world and in Mauritius at O, A and AS levels in any subject. As for the High achievement Award, it is conferred to students who have obtained outstanding results in subjects with low candidature.
