"Our vision is to provide, in an enduring way, the highest quality education responsive to the holistic growth of each child, while preparing it for the demands of the future."
Objective and Scope of PEB
The Presbyterian Education Board functions autonomously within the framework of the Presbyterian Church of Pakistan and is supported by the Presbyterian Church (USA) and other churches and Associations worldwide. Its purpose is to deliver high-quality education deeply rooted in Christian principles. The Board’s scope includes primary, secondary, and higher secondary schools, along with vocational and technical training for children, regardless of their ethnic or religious background. Furthermore, the scope includes residential facilities for Christian children and community development endeavors. To fulfill these purposes, the Board may acquire land and construct buildings.
Mission
Our mission is to provide high-quality education deeply rooted in Christian principles to children, regardless of ethnic or religious background, or ability to pay. Our core values are to teach self-discipline, integrity, tolerance, respect for others, and fairness. We provide the human and financial resources necessary for educating children in mind, body and spirit. Christian children are empowered and enabled to deepen their faith and sense of community. All children are educated to have a spirit of service, and a quality of character that will enable them to contribute to positive changes in society as citizen-leaders of their community, their country and the world.
Vision
Our vision is to provide, in an enduring way, the highest quality education responsive to the holistic growth of each child, while preparing them for the demands of the future.
Message from Executive Director
Since I began working with Presbyterian Education Board in 1998, I have been astounded how God provides! We have faced many challenges and somehow have met those challenges and taken many steps forward. As I often tell our friends, “We do our best and God will do the rest!” This mindset has kept us going at times when it seemed that everything was working against our interests. God is good!
We owe abundant gratitude to Presbyterian missionaries in the 1850s who recognized the importance of educating girls in Pakistan — most coming from poor families in rural areas. They devoted themselves to this mission and established schools in Punjab that are still operating today. They too faced challenges in their work but they persevered because of their commitment and dedication. We continue their legacy today as we currently are educating more than 6000 students in 25 schools.
We have expanded our mission with the SHE project (Struggle-Hope-Empowerment) to benefit marginalized women. This program offers vocational skills training so women can help to support their families. The women also receive instruction in math and reading, along with awareness training in health, hygiene, care of children, and much more. The SHE project is currently operating in 41 communities.
Since the beginning, we have been fortunate to have individuals, churches, and organizations around the world that believe in our mission and support us with time, talent, and money. In large part these partners make it possible for us to achieve our goals — and sometimes reach out in faith to even greater goals. We continue to welcome more children into the PEB schools as we are able to expand facilities. Volunteers help us provide our teachers and staff with the latest and best practices in teaching so we can deliver the best possible education to our students. Scholarships provided by generous donors allow students to attend school instead of having to work to help support the family. We at PEB are truly blessed. And our students continue to perform well and secure high marks in national examinations. The students are eager to learn and they work hard. This is a testament to the quality of academics that we are offering and trying to improve always.
We hope you enjoy browsing our website. Please contact us if you would like to know more or would like to explore volunteer opportunities.
Peace,
Mrs. Veda Shaheen Gill
Executive Director, Presbyterian Education Board in Pakistan

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Partners Say!
Presbyterian Education Board is fortunate to have partners around the world that
contribute to programs and projects that are essential to our operation.
The Eades Foundation provides support every year to the Presbyterian Education Board of Pakistan to help Sangla Hill School. It is an elementary and secondary boarding school for girls. Most of the money is used for scholarships to help girls from families that otherwise could not afford the cost.
David Eades Eades Foundation, Champaign, IL, USA
I was invited to lay the first brick of a groundbreaking ceremony for a perimeter wall at the Sangla Hill school; it was an honor I will not soon forget. When I spoke to the assembly, I had no trouble telling them how much I loved the school personnel and people of Pakistan.
Cynthia Regnense, Florida, USA
I am so thankful that God has allowed me to be part of your important work in Pakistan. Now, we gather again to dedicate the completion of this fine school. It is such a joy for me to be a partner with you in building this school and continue to be a partner in other schools as we further the ministry of PEB.
Rev. Dr. C. Edward Morgan, former pastor First Presbyterian Church, Saint Cloud, Minnesota USA
It is getting closer to the time that I will visit Pakistan and I am becoming more and more excited about the visit and meeting many of the wonderful Pakistani teachers, administrators, students and parents that I have been hearing about.
Dr. Carol G. Johnson Brink member of First Presbyterian Church, Saint Cloud, Minnesota USA
For a long time, I have thought that it would be good to have a formal network of people who take a special interest in the PEB schools so that we could share information and experiences.
Jane Cranston member of First Presbyterian Church, Iowa City, Iowa, USA
I have had oversight for our mission work with church partners around the world for these last nine years. I have been deeply involved in support of our partner churches and institutions in Pakistan. In this capacity I work with Mrs. Veeda Javaid Gill, the Executive Director of the Presbyterian Education Board (PEB) in Pakistan.
Rev. Dr. William C. Browne former Director of World Mission of PC(USA)
