;h2;INTRODUCTION;/h2;
Pakistan Air Force (PAF) being a dynamic defence organization is poised with
multifarious challenges due to its distinguished role and task vis-Ã -vis other
organizations of the state. Absorption of substantial human resource put in a claim
for certain requisitions including the educational structure in the forefront for wards of
PAF personnel. Education for the children of our manpower had always been a
focused objective. Keeping in view transfer, as well as, posting difficulties from one
base to the other, PAF established a network of Fazaia Schools ; Colleges in 60s.
Gradually up gradation from schools to colleges took place, which not only enhanced
peace of mind, devotion to duty and loyalty to service of PAF personnel, but also
helped a big segment of population residing in the vicinity of PAF bases to avail the
facility of educational environment of Fazaia chain. In 1980s, 16 schools were
upgraded to intermediate level and in 1990s, 06 Intermediate colleges were raised to
degree level to cater the higher educational needs of the wards of PAF personnel.
Presently, Pakistan Air Force in a self sustained capacity takes onboard a total of 23
Fazaia Institutions that comprises 06 Degree Colleges, 16 Intermediate Colleges and
a Model School.;
For pacing with the progressive age and providing true modern academic
seats of learning, computer laboratories and state of the art Physics, Chemistry,
Biology laboratories, resource rooms, model classrooms and regional corners have
been added in all of the Fazaia Schools ; Colleges.
To manage the affairs of Fazaia Educational chain a separate Directorate of
Schools ; Colleges was established in 1996. Though comparatively young and
burgeoning, it has successfully conducted its role and task in improving academic
and administrative expertise of Fazaia institutions. Being cognizant of the cause and
effect relationship the Directorate transfigured the teaching learning paradigm from
rote to cognitive based teaching / learning by facilitating administration of Fazaia
chain. Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE) results of
SSC ; HSSC students are self evidence of the all out efforts generated by this
Directorate.
Fazaia Schools and Colleges are recognized as one of the premier English
Medium chains of educational institutions of the country, on the highway to progress
due to untiring efforts of its trained and skilled teaching and non-teaching work force.
