Girls Education
The village that was without girl’s education twenty years back, today has 100% educated girls. There was not a single girl in the village with education up to Grade 10. Whereas, now girls have completed post-graduation and have joined Engineering University after completing Matriculation from the village school. Atmosphere of competition to educate the girls was created in the village after door to door assigned regular counseling and personal visits. Presently, the children of entire village are enrolled and NO one sits at home. Attendance in the school is measured and habit of absenteeism is pursued and is discouraged.
Teaching Staff
At the start, all teaching staff was male and from the adjoining city areas. Today entire staff is from the village. All are females (14) and former students of the school.
The performance of students on the stage as shown in the video clips proves that our villages are full of intelligentsia.
May ALMIGHTY ALLAH reward those, who have contributed to make the school a Success. To provide education to a girl, means, educating a family.
Efforts will continue to fulfill the Dream to a Reality.
SAEEA (Saudi Aramco Ex-Employees Association wish Amjad Hussain good luck and have his school be more and more prosperous in future.
