Abstract: This file contains a diverse set of documents related to education and social welfare in Pakistan between 1950 and 1962. A press release (21 December 1961) describes a visit by lady professors and girl students to Al‑Maz Primary School, Hyderabad, which was established on self‑help basis and used direct teaching methods, including a small zoo and botanical section. An appeal from the Anjuman‑e‑Islamia seeks a government grant for Jinnah Polytechnic Institute (Karachi), noting that despite two years of operation and appreciation from officials, no grant has been received, and private technical institutions lack budgetary support. The main document is the annual report and prize distribution address for the Mama Parsi Girls’ High School (year ending March 1950).
