Nazarat Taleem (Directorate of Education), established in 1919, is a directorate within the Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya in Pakistan. It is responsible for administering schools and colleges run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community in the country.[1]
History
The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community has operated educational institutions since the late nineteenth century. Nazarat Taleem, one of several directorates ("Nazarats") of the Sadr Anjuman Ahmadiyya, was created in 1919. The directorate, then based in Qadian, India, administered various educational institutions there; following the partition of India in 1947, its offices relocated to Pakistan.
In 1972, the government of Zulfikar Ali Bhutto nationalised privately run educational institutions across Pakistan, with colleges taken over from October of that year and private schools brought under state control in phases through 1974.[2] Institutions run by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community, including Talim-ul-Islam College in Rabwah, were among those nationalised. The exact number of Ahmadiyya-run schools and colleges affected has not been independently verified.
From 1987 the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community began establishing new educational institutions. According to the directorate's own website, Nazarat Taleem currently operates eleven schools and two colleges in Rabwah, together with a further group of schools in other parts of Pakistan; the website gives inconsistent figures for this second group, stating "eighteen (22)" schools.[1] These figures should be treated with caution pending a clearer primary or independent source.

The college comprises three constituent schools:[5]

Most students enrolled at these schools are members of the Ahmadiyya community and residents of Rabwah, though enrolment is open to non-Ahmadi students from Rabwah and its surrounding areas.
