Driving Change
The Pakistan Educational & Cultural Board (PECB), a distinguished non-profit organization licensed by Dubai’s Community Development Authority (CDA), was established on land granted in the 1960s by the Late HH Sheikh Rashid Bin Saeed Al Maktoum to a group of patriotic Pakistanis. This generous endowment laid the foundation for the first school, originally known as the Pakistan Islamia Secondary School in 1968, now the renowned Pakistan Education Academy. In 1978, PECB’s educational legacy was further expanded with the establishment of the English Language Private School (ELPS), offering a British National Curriculum.
Governance at PECB is marked by the selfless dedication of its members, who are drawn from various professional and diverse backgrounds and serve pro bono. All the Founder and Board Members are working as Honorary members and they are not taking any remuneration or director fees from PECB. Their commitment exemplifies an altruistic devotion to the Board’s vision, mission and values. This governance structure extends to two notable institutions: Pakistan Education Academy (PEA) and English Language Private School (ELPS).
PECB, catering to over 3,700 students across PEA and ELPS, is a leader in integrating Islamic ethics and UAE cultural values with international curricula, preparing students to become future leaders and responsible global citizens. This approach is in harmony with the UAE’s visionary educational policies, as reflected in PECB’s adherence to the frameworks and guidelines of Dubai’s Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and the UAE Ministry of Education.
