5. Objectives:

   This confidence of people is not only a matter of pride for us but also serves as encouragement and prompts us to do better. Conscious of our responsibilities, the functionaries of FEF are committed to make all out efforts to promote education in order to help prepare the nation for the challenges of the 21st Century. Education is an important factor which catalyzes social change in a society. To this end we need to develop high standards of ethical, social, economic and scientific values. This desire will remain unfulfilled if we do not strive hard through a well-motivated and disciplined approach. The ideology of Pakistan for which our forefathers gave great sacrifices should remain our focus. Our faculty should endeavor to equip our students with high moral standards so as to enable them to become responsible and productive citizens. We all pray to Allah Subhanaho-wa-Taallah to give us the determination to realize these objectives.
