Muscat: Federal Minister for Overseas Pakistanis and Human Resource Development Chaudhry Salik Hussain inaugurated the new international campus of Pakistan School in the Al-Seeb area of Muscat. During the ceremony, the minister stressed the importance of an education system that promotes not only technical and academic skills but also character building and spiritual growth.
According to Press Information Department, Chaudhry Salik Hussain underscored the role of educators in fostering moral values and combating the negative influence of social media on the younger generation. He emphasized that education should contribute to society’s welfare by nurturing students’ abilities and character. The Pakistan School system in Oman, which educates students from 27 nationalities, is known for promoting values of tolerance and unity.
With the increasing number of students, the Omani government has allocated two acres of land for the new Pakistan International School, set to be completed in eighteen months. The new campus will cater to 3,000 students from kindergarten to A-levels, further expanding the current network of seven Pakistan School campuses in Oman that serve over 8,500 students. The event was attended by dignitaries including the Pakistani Ambassador to Oman Chaudhry Imran Ali, Dr. Khadijah Al-Salmi, and members of both Pakistani and Omani communities.
