    HISTORY OF NPS


    Nasra Public School (NPS) was born in 2004 as a social enterprise with a mission to provide affordable quality education for K-12 boys and girls belonging to the low to mid income families of Karachi. It has been built on the legacy set down by the Education Trust Nasra Schools (ETNS) system, founded in 1949; using it as an inspirational springboard to continue the same mission of providing quality education that is both accessible & affordable.

    Each NPS campus is fully equipped with modern facilities to ensure the students are provided with a nurturing environment for both academic and personal development. In addition, pro female employment policies contribute to sustainable social impact.
    NPS’s strength lies in its ability to leverage the experience, expertise, support and synergies necessary to rapidly scale up and take affordable quality schooling to communities across Pakistan.
    This social impact business model focuses on providing affordable and easy access to schooling and continues to expand its reach to meet the growing demand for quality education in a city with over 22 million people. The thrust of the growth strategy focuses on taking NPS into the communities making it truly accessible.

    Vision & Mission

    Guiding Principles

    The Nasra Public School (NPS) was founded in 2004. Its innovative model transforms the ETNS model into a socially driven, profitable one, with a mission to provide quality education for the mid income to low income families. Four critical drivers poise NPS to become the largest low cost private school (LCPS) chain in Pakistan. These are:

    Quality

    Drawing from a 70 year legacy, NPS leverages ETNS’s experience and shared resources to deliver high quality services through a curriculum that balances learning together with cultural, physical, mental and moral development. This enables our schools to build a more progressive, inclusive and tolerant society.

    Accessibility

    The NPS campuses can be found inside densely populated areas where access to good quality schooling is rare. At NPS, children and teachers can get to the schools easily and the communities themselves become vested in the success of their local school.

    Mobirise

    Affordability

    Continuing the mission started decades ago, by Education Trust Nasra School, NPS strives to create and maintain a balance between the expectations of middle income households in terms of providing Quality of Education to their children and the plausible financial resources available to them.

    Sustainability

    NPS has spread to some of the most densely populated regions of Karachi with religiously diverse, multi lingual and multi ethnic communities. Here we cater to the deserving; the shop keepers, day laborers, mechanics, public transporters and low level office staff; people who work hard striving to improve their children’s lot in life, with few options available to do so. With a pro-female hiring policy we bring employment to local neighborhoods and ensure that our schools remain sustainable and give back to the communities we are located in. With approximately 280 employees spread over 14 campuses and growing; NPS currently reaches out to over 3000 students and continues to cater to Karachi’s growing 22 million population and beyond.

    As Pakistan grows by another 100 million people by 2035 its need to educate its children will grow too. NPS commands a strong brand name, has the experience, and is set to prepare and position itself to become Pakistan’s #1 choice for low cost schooling.
