The graduation ceremony of the 31st batch of students at the PAF Finishing School Islamabad was held at the Air Headquarters Officers’ Mess on Monday.
Pakistan Air Force Women Association (PAFWA) President Begum Farzana Qamar was the chief guest on the occasion, who awarded the certificates to the graduating students.
Begum Farzana said, “The womenfolk have a vital role to play in the betterment of any society. The saying ‘Hands that rock the cradle, rule the world’ is an apt description of women’s contribution in shaping the destiny of a nation. In fact, no society can afford to ignore women that account for half of its population.”
The PAF Finishing School was established in July 1996. It offers various courses in communication skills, languages, management, art of self presentation, domestic science, general culture, cuisine, protocol, art, child care, introduction to psychology and spiritual enrichment.
PAF Finishing School, an institute which is the first of its kind in Asia, is a step by Pakistan Air Force towards the promotion of education and literacy in the country.
Earlier, the director of the school presented a report that highlighted the main aspects of the training, which are aimed at transforming young girls into useful members of the society.
