Aligarh Old Boys Association
In 1952 the Aligarh Old Boys Association
(AOBA) Rawalpindi decided to set up a number of schools on modern lines
all over the country and to name them after Sir Syed Ahmed Khan. The
main objective behind it was to revive in Pakistan as far as possible,
the “Aligarh spirit” which since the days of Sir Syed has played so
prominent role in the renaissance of the muslims of sub-continent.
A survey was carried out by the members
of sub-committee of the Association, which visited as many as 22
institutions, where European type public schools were functioning, to
study their set up. Following the foot steps of Sir Syed Ahemd Khan, the
association decided in pursuance of the recommendations of the
sub-committee to develop education system initially by establishing a
school named “Sir Syed School”.
The first Sir Syed School was
established in Rawalpindi cantonment area in 1952 under the management
of the registered body “Sir Syed Education Committee”. The foundation
stone of “Sir Syed Schoo” was laid by Gen. Mohammad Ayub Khan on 5th
November 1952. It progressed rapidly and within one year enrolled about
350 students.
The committee in 1955 also launched a
deaf and dumb school in Rawalpindi cantonment area, the only school of
its type, imparting vocational as well as academic education in the
north western part of the country. This school at present is functioning
as a government taken-over institution.
