The people of Pakistan celebrate March 23 every year with great zeal and enthusiasm, commemorating the historic Pakistan Resolution passed on this day in 1940 at Minto Park (now Iqbal Park, Lahore).
This landmark resolution was a formal political declaration that ultimately led to the creation of Pakistan.
On this day, Pakistan’s national flag is hoisted on public and government buildings at dawn, followed by a ceremonial change of guard at the mausoleums of Allama Iqbal and Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, where floral wreaths are laid as a tribute.
The highlight of Pakistan Day celebrations is the grand parade at Constitution Avenue in Islamabad. Additionally, an award ceremony is held where the president confers military and civilian honours upon individuals who have made significant contributions to the nation.
The significance of this resolution is immortalised by Minar-e-Pakistan, a monument standing tall in Iqbal Park, Lahore, symbolising the realisation of independence and national pride.
On this momentous occasion, Iqra Private School, formerly known as Pakistan Urdu School, Bahrain, extends its heartfelt congratulations to all Pakistanis residing in the kingdom.
“We are also proud to share a significant milestone in our academic journey,” a spokesperson said. “Following the successful launch of our IGCSE (grade nine) programme last year, we are pleased to announce that the progamme has nearly completed its first academic year.”
Building on this success, IGCSE (grade 10) will be introduced in September, with a phased expansion to higher levels in the coming years.
“To further strengthen students’ academic readiness, a preparatory programme will be introduced from April to June, ensuring a solid foundation for those entering the IGCSE stream.
Registration for grade nine IGCSE and other classes from LKG to grade eight, is now open.
“We are delighted by the overwhelming interest shown by parents in securing quality education for their children at Iqra Private School,” the spokesperson said.
Parents who wish to register their child/children can scan the barcode provided for the admission inquiry.
“The school will reach out to you for further steps,” they added.
