O-Levels: Sadaf Khurram
Foundation Public School (FPS) is a private institution in Pakistan, established in 1981 by Sabiha Mohammad along with her cousin Minhas, and Yasmin Minhas, who later became Minhas's spouse. It is considered one of Karachi's top schools having a student body of 6000 supported by 500 members of the teaching staff and operating nine campuses in Karachi and Hyderabad. FPS provides education to children from ages 3.5 years to 18 years, leading to ‘O’ and ‘A’ Level. The Hyderabad campus continues to offer Intermediate diplomas while all campuses in Karachi focus on O Level and A Level curriculum standards.
Student admission at FPS may involve private tutors, who prepare an individual to achieve a high test score, which can also be influenced by political figures.
Athletic activities include football, cricket, badminton, table tennis, rowing and throwball.
Students after graduating from FPS O-Levels have a choice to continue their A-Level (12th and 13th Grade) education at another educational institute or continue at Foundation Public School
Nationalization Phase introduced by Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto in 1971. The first branch of the school was opened in the PECHS area as it occupied a central position in Karachi and was considered a logistically better accessible area.
Starting out with 1 student in its first branch, FPS gradually decreased its capacity to offer primary, pre-secondary and secondary grade education. It leased many residential buildings to operate in a limited budget and had different grade levels at different locations. After maintaining its standard successfully and achieving a reputable position amongst other schools FPS started planning to expand its campuses in building built to cater educational needs. By receiving lands subsidized by the government FPS managed to score 6 new campuses around Karachi that deliver modern facilities to its students with a state of the art architectural design.
In 1992, Sabiha Mohammad laid the foundation for a sister brand named Head Start School System (HS) which was founded to provide kindergarten education. This new brand was introduced to secure more admission fees paid by parents to admit their children in FPS to start primary school. In addition to such fees, FPS was saved itself from the obligation of guaranteeing admission after graduating from HS. Recently, HS has started to offer primary and secondary level education but its main focus still remains at kindergarten. In contrast to FPS standards, HS has a target market of low to middle level class of citizens however, educational standards are not comparable.
