Muscat: Pakistan School Muscat has officially signed an agreement for the construction of its state-of-the-art Mabela Campus, marking a major milestone in the institution’s 50-year journey of educational excellence in the Sultanate of Oman.
The signing ceremony was held in the presence of Syed Naveed Safdar Bokhari, Ambassador of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan to the Sultanate of Oman.
The agreement was signed between Ameer Hamza, Chairman of the Board of Directors, Pakistan Schools Oman, and Syed Haris Ali, owner of AZ Engineering, the appointed contractor for the project.
AZ Engineering is a well-established firm recognised for delivering high-quality infrastructure projects across the Sultanate. Project consultancy will be overseen by the firm Tameer, led by Manzoor Ahmed, known for its expertise in large-scale educational developments.
Valued at nearly OMR3 million, the Mabela Project is a flagship educational initiative aimed at establishing a purpose-built campus on an 8,000-square-metre plot.
Designed to accommodate over 3,000 students, the campus will feature modern academic and recreational facilities that meet international standards, responding to the growing educational needs of the Pakistani community in the Mabela area and surrounding regions.
The project is scheduled for completion by December 2026. On this significant occasion, the Board of Directors and the Pakistan School System expressed their sincere appreciation to the Ministry of Education and the Government of Oman for their continued support and encouragement in promoting quality education.
Special acknowledgment was given to His Majesty Sultan Haitham bin Tarik for his visionary leadership and for generously granting the land for this project—underscoring the Sultanate’s enduring commitment to the educational development of expatriate communities in Oman.
This project aligns with Oman Vision 2040 which emphasises innovation, inclusivity, and investment in human capital.
Pakistan School Muscat, which currently caters to students from more than 20 nationalities, continues to play a significant role in enriching the multicultural educational landscape of Oman.
The signing was witnessed by the Ambassador and Chaudhry Muhammad Ashraf, reflecting the strong diplomatic and community support behind the initiative. The ceremony was also attended by members of the Board of Directors, including Iftikhar, Director of Maintenance and Construction, school leadership, and prominent figures from the Pakistani business and professional community in Oman, including: Dr. Tauqeer Rizvi, Asif Mehmood (Country Manager, NESPAK), Country Manager of Air Sial, Muhammad Asif (CEO, Nasim ul Batinah), Chaudhry Kashif, Ahmed Ghumman, Qamar Riaz, Emran Fazal, Waseem Gul, Ziaul Haq Siddiquie, and Atif.
