The Aga Khan University Examination Board was developed as a rigorous alternative to the national examination boards. Over the past 12 years, more and more AKES Pakistan schools have transitioned to AKU-EB curricula in order to better equip students to enter and excel at tertiary education. Currently 17 of AKES, P’s 51 schools are affiliated with AKU-EB
