GVS is now affiliated to the Federal Board of Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE)

More good news from Abida Hashmi and Sayed Danial Hashmi, the Directors of

Global Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd. Based in Islamabad. Their continued efforts

have now moved GVS another step forward in the GVS Development plan. You

will be pleased to know that GVS is now affiliated with the Federal Board of

Intermediate and Secondary Education (FBISE).

Please see the image below of the confirmation dated 25-07-2023. FBISE is the most esteemed and prestigious educational board in Pakistan. FBISE is a federal institute and many national and almost all international schools run by embassies of Pakistan overseas are

affiliated with FBISE except for those who are following the Cambridge curriculum. The name of GVS can now be found in the affiliated schools section on FBISE website.

GVS students at the matriculation level will now be able to sit for the FBISE Board

examinations at our own school. After an inspection by FBISE, GVS will be

declared as an officially recognised Examination Centre.

This means that students from other schools in the local areas will come to our school to give

final exams for matriculation. You will no doubt also be pleased to know that the Directors will continue their efforts to establish GVS as a school of excellence within Tehsil and District

Chakwal. However, the Directors of Global Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd. will

need your support if GVS is to continue to move forward.

Benefits of FBISE affiliation

This affiliation affords GVS the following

1. To engage in better marketing of our school.

Advertising the school as affiliated with FBISE will enhance the status

of GVS and make it more attractive for families.

2. The FBISE curriculum is globally recognised as a highly desirable

standard.

3. GVS will have access to the wide-ranging network of FBISE

4. Directors of Global Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd. will be able to justify a

gradual and steady increase of board class students (Class 9 and 10

students)

5. The Directors of Global Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd. is convinced that

this affiliation with FBISE will enable them to find alternate sources of

revenue. For example by introducing Arts and Technical groups etc.

GVS next Priority

The Directors of Global Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd. has identified two

essential priorities that require funds.

1. Development of Science Laboratories: As an FBISE-affiliated school

GVS needs to further develop 3 science laboratories - Physics, Chemistry, and Biology.

We have already identified some funding for the laboratories on the third floor. These funds

are available as part of a wonderful Sadaqa Jariyah initiative by

Mus’ab Al Khatib in the name of his grandmother, the late SHAMEEM

Khan-Cheema who sadly left us in June 2023. This is a fantastic foundation but attentional funding is required to fully equip the labs to the standard GVS aspires to provide.

2. Furniture in the Main Hall/ Auditorium: The Directors of Global

Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd. The Hall requires additional chairs

and related furniture for our students to be accommodated

comfortably. We are therefore seeking help and support from YOU as

our generous and most valuable donors.

3.) A third priority that the Directors of Global Village Education (Pvt.)

Ltd. feel that there is a need for action as follows:

This is not as urgent as the two above but is in need to formalise and

regularise. The ownership of the land/site on which GVS has been built

was donated by the Cheema family to Kashmir Education Foundation

(KEF) an NGO that GVS was working in partnership with at the time.

The Directors of Global Village Education (Pvt.) Ltd is in touch with

KEF Head Quarters and have made the CEO of KEF aware of this need

and will continue to take the appropriate steps towards this outcome

as and when the opportunity arises.
