The Pakistan International School (Azizia) Jeddah was established in 1959 in a villa in the Baghdadia district. In 1984 it moved to a new purpose-built building in Alazizia district that fulfils all the requirements of students. This school has a glorious past as it has produced students who are performing their services in all walks of life. It is affiliated with the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education, Islamabad. The school has introduced the Cambridge system, with modest fees so that all people can afford it. The School Management Council (SMC) has always endeavored to provide a congenial environment for students and teachers so that they can focus on their education. Every year, a significant number of students from this institution gain admission to professional colleges in Pakistan on merit, and those who go to foreign countries for higher education bring honor to their alma mater by making their mark in the international arena. Teachers are always recruited on merit and according to the needs of subjects. Buying new furniture, ACs and split units, as well as books for the library, have been among the tasks that the SMC has undertaken on a priority basis. As chairman of SMC, I would like to request the Pakistani community to help guide us on how we can serve our students better. We should always remain united and sincere with our nation and country. Our nation’s father, Quaid e Azam said: “Our object should be peace within and peace without. We want to live peacefully and maintain cordial friendly relations with the world at large. Pakistan not only means freedom and independence but the Muslim ideology which has to be preserved, which has come to us as a precious gift and treasure.” Let’s revive the spirit of individuality by commemorating the wisdoms of our forefathers and implementing those golden adages to take our country to the height of that glorification which our forefathers always envisaged. — Afzal Gondal, chairman of the School Management Council, Pakistan International School (Azizia) Jeddah
