Embassy of Pakistan Cairo has maintained a cherished tradition of Pakistan Missions Abroad to provide affordable education facilities to its diasporas. Pakistan International School started functioning in Cairo, in 1982, under the supervision and guidance of the Ambassador of Pakistan. The school primarily sought to cater to the needs of children of the Pakistani community living in Cairo. However, in order to maintain the optimal teacher-student ratio in every class, the school opened its doors to the children of other expatriates. Their response was overwhelming. The PISC was thus able to gain the name and fame of an international school.
