Pakistan Education Centre is one of the most prestigious and renowned
educational institutions in the Gulf. It is playing a pivotal role in
imparting standard education and grooming the overall personality of the
Pakistani and foreign students. It is housed in a grand specious double
storey building on 75.000 Sq. meters of land at Abu Hamour in Doha, Qatar.
The land was graciously donated by the Amir of the State of Qatar, where as,
the finance for the construction of the building was raised entirely through
donations. Lt. Gen. (R) Muhammad Jahan Zeb Arbab, the former Ambassador of
the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the State of Qatar (1980-86) played a
major role in collecting donations through various sources. The new building
was inaugurated by the late President of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan
General Muhammad Zia-Ul-Haq under the name of Pakistan School on 6th
November, 1985.
A
few very enthusiastic members of the Pakistani community established the
school in 1970. With the increase in number of students, better
administrative control became necessary. The Embassy of the Islamic Republic
of Pakistan was assigned the task to take over the administration through a
cabinet decision in 1978. later on Pakistan Public School and Anglo-Pak
School were merged into the Pakistan School in 1984 and 1987 respectively.
With the passage of time the number of students grew greater and greater and
a good number of students got through the SSC Examination from the Federal
Board of Intermediate & Secondary Education Islamabad, hence the need for
college education was greatly felt. Therefore, college education was
provided in Humanities Group to girls in 1978 and to boys in 1980. However,
the Science Group was introduced in 1981 for both boys & girls and the
institution was named Pakistan School & College. In order to amalgamate all
the six wings of English & Urdu Medium and boys & girls colleges, the
Pakistan School & College was named Pakistan Education Centre in April 1986.
Science General Group was introduced for boys and girls in 1994. Computer
Science classes were started at SSC & HSSC levels in 1998 and 2000
