The Journey and Legacy of Qurtuba Education System
March 3, 1981 will be remembered as a memorable day in the history of the Qurtuba Education System, when Prof. Abdul Aziz Khan Niazi, a teacher by design and choice, pooling the entire resources he could have by then, opened a primary school in the vicinity of the historical Islamia College, Peshawar on Jamrud Road. The opening of the school was in fact launching of a movement with meager resources but with firm resolution to equip the youth with skills and knowledge enabling them to play their key role in the nation-building process. On the basis of his rich teaching experience, he knew about the vitality of quality education for the said process. The growth and expansion of this humble beginning into an ever-growing network of schools and colleges culminating in the establishment of a university of national and international standing was the founder's vision and dream.
The founder's devotion and sincere commitment to the cause of education resulted in a sharp success of this humble effort. The school was upgraded from primary to High level in a short span of seven years in 1988. Keeping pace with the growing demand of the society and in response to the community's confidence on the system, Qurtuba College was founded in 1991 in Peshawar. Horizontally, the system expanded southwardly and Qurtuba School & College was established in 1996 in D.I. Khan.

Besides achieving excellence in academics, moral upbringing of the youth occupies central place in the system. Discipline, attendance, punctuality, good conduct and sound behaviour are the values which are not compromised under any circumstances. The teacher's benign treatment of students, students' respects for teachers, on the one hand, and teacher-parents liaison on the other are the essential and inherent values of the system. The management, faculty and administrative staff together make a strong cohesive team. The team helps in effectively creating a learning-friendly environment where students are facilitated to attain excellence in their academic pursuits, demonstrate respect for their teachers and the elderly people and to observe the socio-moral and cultural values with the strength of character.
Observing the religio-cultural and social norms, the Qurtuba Education System maintains separate campuses for girls and boys both in Peshawar and in D.I. Khan. The strength in all the campuses is increasing day by day. It reveals the community's trust and confidence in the system as it strives for quality. The beautiful and spacious campuses (with accessible location) both in Peshawar and D.I. Khan are the Qurtuba's own property. It puts the management at liberty for further extension and expansion as and when needed.
In recognition of his sincere services to the cause of education, and in acknowledgment of the entrepreneurship of Prof. Abdul Aziz Khan Niazi, who brought the primary school gradually to college level, the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa entrusted him with the challenging task of establishing a University in D.I. Khan by issuing the charter in 2001. Since its establishment the University is serving the people of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through its two campuses in D.I. Khan and Peshawar. The University offers multiple programs ranging from four years bachelors to post-graduate and M.Phil/Ph.D. Although in its infancy, owing to its performance in first ten year, the University has earned its position amongst top ten universities by the HEC's ranking. Pursuing further the vision and dream, the term of "Qurtuba Education System" was adapted in March, 2007 so that the intending expansion of the network should be supervised in a more systematic and coherent manner for yielding tangible results.
The vision and the dream of the founder is to regain the Umma's lost grandeur and glory through the acquisition of knowledge and genuine research, as knowledge is the key to success. Under the dynamic and visionary leadership of Prof. Abdul Aziz Khan Niazi, and sincere commitment, devotion and untiring efforts of the faculty, management and administration, Qurtuba Education System is progressing with amazing pace. With the grace of Allah, Qurtuba is emerging as a leader in education. It is hoped that the community will keep on reposing its trust and confidence in the Qurtuba Education System.
