Yes. The charity “STEM British Educational Trust” is registered in England and Wales, Registration No: 1186752.

Yes, the charity (NPO) trust is registered with the ministry of Interior, Federal Government of Pakistan, Islamabad; their letter ref. 4/14/2020 FATF/INGO.

The proposed Location of this technical institute is in central Pakistan city of Multan, about 5KM from M4 motorway. Multan is the 7^th biggest city in Pakistan with population of 2.2M. It is a historic city which was visited by Alexander the great in 325 BC.

The British STEM Institute, Multan.

The starting programmes shall be: Computer Sciences; Computer Engineering; Software Engineering; Data sciences, information technology and mathematics. Some modules in the above programmes may be common, therefore making it easier to administer the courses and to find highly qualified teachers.

4 years for each programme.

Stage 1: 2024–26: Building the infrastructure: Estimated cost £5M. this includes over 0.5M Sq. Ft. of buildings.

Stage 2: 2026-27: Equipping various departments. Estimated cost £ 2M.

Stage 3: 2027-onwards: Student and staff accommodations, expansion of academic facilities.

We plan to recruit highly motivated PhD and MSc faculty.

Initially, the Institute will be affiliated with an approved Pakistan degree awarding institution or a university, however as we gradually establish in academic excellence of our own, we will look for an affiliation with a British university to give more credibility to our graduates.

Yes. The British High Commission in Islamabad have written an introductory letter to the Ministry of Interior in Pakistan on our behalf.

The governing document is of a non-profit organisation CIO (Charitable Incorporated Organisation) Foundation, – A British charity.

Majority of the trustees are UK nationals and UK resident, so that control of the trust stays in UK.

Approximately 0.5M Sq. Ft.

The initial building will be situated over an area of 8.6 acres. However, a further 12.6 acres of land is available for the institutes future expansion and its use.

No, this is in order to avoid a source of corruption and mismanagement, the trust will directly oversee the Institute from UK.

The institute was architecturally designed by David P Formon, of Building and Design Consultancy in England and Structurally designed by Dr Zeeshan Alam PhD (Sydney- Australia), of ZAC Engineers, Islamabad Pakistan.

Advancement of Education. Providing education from higher secondary school to University level, specialising in the teaching and training of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) subjects.

Technological advancement of the world is related to the STEM subjects. STEM education is necessary to facilitate economic development and job creation especially in the underdeveloped countries like Pakistan. STEM education is essential to train and produce tomorrow’s engineers, technologists, scientists and innovators. In the 21st century setting, without STEM education there is no progress. The Charity will help in developing young technical and scientific minds resulting in general economic development through the advancement of STEM education and training. The organisation’s focus will be to help young students to learn new skills that will offer them better opportunities to advance in their chosen field and secure a good employment. Young people will receive support and encouragement for their chosen STEM field, in a manner that they are able to make good progress in their chosen area of academia and fulfil their true potential. It is intended this project will facilitate economic growth and competitiveness.

Pakistan’s education crisis is generally well recognised with tales of fictitious degrees for sale. There is scarcity of good institutions with high standards of STEM teaching and training. Poor academic standards are pretty obvious when Pakistan trained graduates are posted in the British organisations. They also have low pass rates in British examinations, in spite of the fact that all of their teaching and training have been in English. Pakistan’s Higher Education Commission (HEC) actively promotes STEM education to ensure availability of well-trained technologists for the future.

The quality of STEM education and training in Pakistan is not up to the mark. Mostly it involves memorising facts and then regurgitating these in the examinations, without in depth understanding. There is little thinking, understanding and evaluation of the subject. We shall introduce western systems of teaching and training (e.g., Laboratory based practical understanding and problem-based learning) to address these deficiencies.
