Pakistan International Public School and College

Pakistan International Public School & College (Urdu:پاکستان انٹرنیشنل پبلک سکول اینڈ کالج), usually abbreviated to its acronym PIPS is a private residential school situated in Abbottabad city of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province of Pakistan with branches in cities of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab.[1] The parent institute in Abbottabad has two separate campuses, Boys Campus known as Senior PIPS is situated on a hill at Jhangi Khoja near Mandian while Girls Campus usually referred to as Junior PIPS is situated at PMA Link Road in Jinnahabad and collectively they are known as PIPS Abbottabad.

The school was founded in 1983 by Brig. (r) Ijaz Akbar (Late), Ijaz Akbar until then had served as the principal of the boys section of Army Burn Hall College, also in Abbottabad. It was established by the Pakistan Education Association, a government registered body of the North West Frontier Province(NWFP), now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.[4][5]

Administration

The college and its branches has been managed by Brig. (r) Ijaz Akbar (Late) as Managing Director who also served as principal of Junior PIPS until his death after which his sons took the charge as college's managing directors. The grandson of Brig. (r) Ijaz Akbar (Late), Mr. M. Anjum Umar (CEO, PIPS School System) is a business development professional who has a demonstrated history of working in the academic franchise management industry. Graduated with an MBA in International Business (Birmingham, UK), he is skilled in negotiation, administration, team building, strategic planning and organizational scaling. Mr. Anjum initiated the development of a scalable model of PIPS, by dedicating over a decade of his life to carefully formalize ISO Certified Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), test pilots, modifications and eventually rolling out of PIPS School System branches. The franchise setup has been structured allowing an ease of understanding for all franchisees; designed to be implementable and manageable for anyone with a passion of educating the masses.[6] [3]
