Pakistan had first donated a computer lab in 2013, which has served students for 12 years. The newly established facility features 42 new computers, upgraded flooring and new furniture and will be used to teach ICT to senior students. The refurbished older lab has been relocated to the primary section to promote early digital learning.
Ambassador Hashmi praised the school’s leadership and community for their dedication and effective management, noting that their efforts had produced visible and sustainable results. He urged graduating students to stay connected to their culture while embracing modern education and emerging fields such as AI, e-commerce and fintech.
Students and community leaders also welcomed the announcement of establishing a “Nepal-Pakistan Friendship Society” at the school, along with the Embassy’s commitment to support music and sports clubs—initiatives expected to further strengthen ties between the two countries.
