Objective:
Dear Parents,
I firmly believe that education is the basic right of all
human beings living on this planet regardless of their social
background. An educated nation is democratically stable and
consistent in its economic viability, a lesson learnt through my
passion for education for the last three decades.
Since its inception in 1985,with the 550+ campuses. Allied school has
always been a market leader in nontraditional businesses. Where other
Pakistani business groups are mostly in traditional manufacturing industry
such as textiles, cement and sugar, Allied schools forges its own way,
exploring new markets and setting its own precedent. Its forte is in the
services sector and infrastructure industry.
The University of Central Punjab imparts Liberal Arts and science education
at both graduate and postgraduate levels. The Punjab Group also runs the
largest transport network in the country; owns and operates one of Pakistan’s
leading IT departments; is in the process of setting up Pakistan’s first wind
farm power station; and is poised to expand into the burgeoning floriculture
business.
Allied schools, the largest privately owned education system of its kind in
the Pakistan. Established in November 1985 as the star Montessori Academy
for toddlers, Allied schools has since grown into a large network of private
schools, institutes, and universities, imparting distinctive and meaningful
education to the students from pre-school to post-graduation.
Through close links with leading UK universities, Allied also helps provide
professional education and training to more than 6,000 staff members,
enabling them to improve their classroom practice as well as obtain
certificates, diplomas and degrees that have global recognition.
From its humble beginnings over 32 years ago, Allied school today is much
more than just a school. Through distinctly independent divisions, it caters to
the education and training needs of a diverse group of individuals of varying
age, socio-economic background, and ethnicity.
We hope you will find this website informative and useful. And if you
should happen to be a parent, I wish you all the best in making the right
decision for your child’s future.

CRITICAL ANALYSIS:
During my internship period I was very much impressed to see the working
environment that was provided to the employees. But due to my
observations there are certain things to be criticize such as:
b) PAY SCALE:
The work load on males is much more as compared to females but the pay
scales of females are much more as compared to males. However every
Saturday is off for females but alternative Saturday is off for males. That is
the main reason about 70 to 80% employees including management
consists of females.
c) EMPLOYEE PERFORMANCE:
If the assistant manager’s skills and performance is better than the
manager, he cannot be promoted until the manager retires or resigns. That’s
why many assistant managers with excellent communicational skill and
performance resign.
d) COMPENSATIONAL BENEFITS:
No bonuses are given to the employees.
Pension is also finished from this year. Now there is no pension and
bonus for employees.
e) WORK LOAD:
Employee’s salaries are very low as compared to their work load due to
which many employees resign.
Conclusion;
The head office where I have done my internship has an Organized and
efficient system.
Allied schools are one of the largest private sector school organizations in
the world. With vast and growing network, they at Allied schools are always
on the lookout for skilled and capable people willing to take on a challenge.
Allied schools offers competitive employee packages and has a vibrant and
dynamic working environment. There are a variety of job opportunities at
different levels available in organization in two specific areas: academics
and corporate.
The overall analysis is indicating that the company’s progress has mainly
attained through dedication of employees. The effectiveness of its
management, their willingness to take advantage of opportunities and face
challenges of changing requirement of well-educated and confident children
on the society, this all contributes to the very much improved and sound
position of company. This is really appreciable for the devotion and hard
work of all the employees of the company.
But the main issue is related to affordability of the all classes of the society.
This quality education should be affordable to all the people.The overall
structure of ALLIED SCHOOL is excellent. I am very proud to
Recommendations:
High level manger should cooperate with the lower level employees and
should encourage them
In Head office all the employees should be provided the laptops instead of
desktop computers.
The overall working environment of Allied schools is excellent but there are
certain things that should be improved in my opinion:
a) EDUCATION:
The Allied schools pays a lot of attention on A-level and primary classes but
they pay less attention to Metric sections, that’s why the result of
Allied schools metric section is decreasing continuously. Another reason for
this is that the teachers use old notes for metric sections. As we know that
the syllabus changes continuously and new things are added in the syllabus
each year but the teachers teach from the same notes each year without any
change or additions. To improve the metric result teachers should use new
updated notes for teaching and Allied schools should also focus on metric
result sincerely.
b) PAY POLICY:
The pay policy of Allied schools is very low due to which many teachers
and good performers resign and join other institutions. Allied schools should
increase their pay policy so that good performers may not leave easily.
