Pakistan’s President Has ‘Never Gone to School’

Mamnoon Hussain, the President of Pakistan has never gone to school.

This fact was revealed as the President attended at a Parents’ Day function held at Cadet College Hassanabdal, where he was invited as the chief guest.

As part of his speech to cadets, he used his own past experience as a means to bring home the point about the importance of education. He mentioned that even the founder of Pakistan Mohammad Ali Jinnah placed emphasis on educating ourselves, and that they should be following in the footsteps of the Quaid-i-Azam. Doing so is the only way to make the country’s future better and save it from all the problems it’s facing current and in the future.

But when asked about his own education, Alumni Relations Officer at the Cadet College, Syed Mohammad Ali said the President had been home schooled and had missed out the opportunity to go to an actual school.

Mamnoon Hussain also said that the country has a much better chance of surviving if the future was in the hands of those who are “academically and physically stable” and are well educated unlike him.

The nation expects a lot from the younger generation and the Cadet College is providing ideal training and education, he added.

Bringing the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) into the conversation, he said that the CPEC is going to be a huge step forward for the country and that the students should seek opportunities that will be come forth through that.

He also expressed sorrow towards the incident at the Army Public School Peshawar, whose 2nd anniversary was observed recently. He said that the nation is indebted to the victims of the attack and their courage and bravery. He said that the nation should never let such an incident occur anywhere else ever again.

      • He’s actually an alumnus of IBA. Not exactly jahil, just extremely incompetent. And he knows it.

        • NOT saying him jaahil because of lack of education. Saying him jaahil because of his ignorance and silence.

  • I never went to a real school until 9th grade but after completing FSC, I went to University to get a bachelor’s degree. Not a big deal, many kids miss this opportunity

  • بتانے کی ضرورت نہیں یہ تو ان کی حرکتوں سے پتا چلتا ہے جو نورے کے تھلے لگ جائے وہ پڑھا لکھا جاہل ہو گا۔

  • Title is accurate to its words. We are just taking it wrong, maybe because of assumptions we have for him

  • By the way this is something he did mentioned in his first public interview on PTV soon after becoming President. Not only that, he repeatedly told this on several public occasions. I’m surprised that many among us came to know this through social media after three years of his presidency? Something smart over-confidant generation seriously need to think upon. Are we really aware of real facts?

    Fact – He was home schooled by his parents and uncle who were teachers by profession and passed board examinations of primary, middle and high-school privately in 1940’s. After partition, he completed his college and bachelors degree privately along with job. Later got admission in IBA Karachi and completed his MBA in early 60s. IBA is still among top prestigious institutions of Pakistan when it comes to Business studies.
