Renowned educationist & PSI founder Shabnam Ashraf laid to rest
ISLAMABAD, Oct 20 (APP):Shabnam Ashraf, a renowned educationist and visionary founder of Preparatory School Islamabad (PSI), was laid to rest on Tuesday evening at the age of 80 following a prolonged illness.
A large number of people from all walks of life, including teachers, parents, students and well-wishers, attended her Namaz-e-Janaza, which was offered in H-11, Islamabad.
She is survived by her husband, Saad Ashraf, three daughters and grandchildren. She also leaves behind countless students whose lives she touched and whose futures she helped shape through her lifelong commitment to education.
Her passing marks the end of a remarkable life dedicated to nurturing young minds and advancing educational excellence. However, her vision, values and enduring contributions will continue to inspire generations of students, educators and all those who had the privilege of knowing her.
Mrs. Ashraf’s most enduring legacy is Preparatory School Islamabad, which she founded 36 years ago with a vision of providing quality education and fostering the intellectual and personal development of young learners. Over the decades, PSI has grown into one of Islamabad’s sought-after private schools, reflecting her foresight, dedication and unwavering commitment to educational excellence.
Her legacy will live on through the institution she established and the countless lives she influenced, leaving an indelible mark on the educational landscape of Islamabad.
