During his recent visit to Saudi Arabia, Nawaz Sharif was informed by the members of the Pakistani community about mismanagement, embezzlement and involvement of the school administration in political activities on which the prime minister took strong notice and asked the Foreign Office to present a complete report about the affairs of these two schools.
The prime minister was told during his visit to Saudi Arabia that former Consulate official Sikandar Hayat, who was later appointed as IGP Islamabad, removed the experienced principal of Pakistan International School Al-Azizia and replaced him by an inexperienced principal of his area due to which the performance of the school was severely affected. Moreover, five more teachers were also dismissed for supporting the sacked principal. He was told that the episode brought bad name for Pakistan as the matter went to the Saudi courts.
Nawaz was told that the principal of English section of another Pakistani school was made senator in the reign of the PPP, due to which this school is virtually presenting the look of a political office of a particular party for the last five years. He was told that political personalities frequently visit the school and the pictures of the politicians were clearly visible in the school building. Principal of the school Sahar Kamran Mudassir spends most of the time in her political activities in Pakistan due to which the academic environment of the school is severely affected. No audit of expenditure for the affairs of the school has been carried out for the last five years.
The Foreign Office has finally asked the envoy and consul general to submit a report about the financial and administrative affairs of these two schools.
