Some Historical Facts

In 2007, Pakistan Air Force (PAF) opened some of the selected Technical Institutes for the Training of Civilian Youth under various Government sponsored programs. Appreciating the training quality and discipline, the president of Pakistan directed that PAF should takeover one of the Sindh Govt Technical Institute at Benazir Abad (Nawab Shah) for up gradation to Model Institute. This experience was highly successful. The NAVTTC, therefore recommended that PAF may extend the expertise and cooperation to other Provinces as well. In pursuance, Sindh Govt handed over two more Institutes to PAF and Punjab Govt also handed over Technical Teacher Training Institutes at Muree to PAF. Collaboration with Baluchistan Govt was not encouraging.

The response of KP Govt was overwhelming and five Technical Institutes at Kalabat Haripur, Abbot Abad, Khaki Mansihra, Yar Hussain Swabi and Mardan were handed over to PAF on 3rd July, 2015. The five institutes so handed over have witnessed remarkable improvement in all facets of training and performance indicators were appreciated by the Board. KP-TEVTA, therefore handed over another five institutes to PAF at Chitral City, Booni Chitral, Chakdara, Jehangira Nowshera and Nowshera City on 18 March, 2016. To increase the linkage with industries, one institute was established by PAF with the help of KP-TEVTA at industrial Zone Gadoon in the same month. Noticing the quick improvement, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Govt decided to hand over all the Technical Institutes of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Govt to PAF to ensure that they are upgraded to International Standard. PAF honored the request of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Govt and recommended the transfer in phase manner. Therefore 17 more institutes at Takht Bhai Mardan, Palo Dheri Mardan, Hatian Mardan, Umarzai Charsadda, Mirza Dher Charsadda, Bamborait Chitral, Matta Swat, Kohat, Swabi City, Sheikh Maltoon Mardan, Kalabat Haripur, Bannu, Hayat Abad Peshawar, Balakot Mansehra and Batagram Mansehra were also handed over to PAF. This way the number of institutes reached to 26. Apart from this PAF also established two technical institutes at Badaber and one each at Urmer Peshawar, Akora Nowshera and Shewa Swabi in the vacant buildings. This way the number of institutes rose to 32. As the institutes increased to considerable number, it was given the name of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa System of Technical and Vocational Education and Training (KP-STVET).
