St. Patrick's College (Karachi)

Saint Patrick's College or St. Patrick's College, is located in Dungannon, County Tyrone, Ireland. It was established in 1952 by Fr. Stephen Raymond as its first Principal. Until 1964 it was an intermediate college only.

Saint Patrick's College is a co-educational institution offering courses leading to the Intermediate certificate of education and baccalaureate degrees from the University of Karachi. In 1972 it was nationalized by the Government of Pakistan. In 2005 it was returned to the Catholic Board of Education. The denationalization was opposed by the Sindh Professors and Lecturers Association and Muttahida Majlis-i-Amal who claimed it would result in doors being closed to students from poor- and middle-class families.

It currently offers courses in Arts, Commerce and Science at the Intermediate level and Arts and Commerce at the baccalaureate level.

Famous quotes containing the words patrick and/or college:

    The bottom line on bonding with multiples seems to be that if you see bonding as a static event—a moment in time at which you must have eye contact and skin contact simultaneously with two or more infants—you may indeed be in trouble.
    —Pamela Patrick Novotny (20th century)

    In looking back over the college careers of those who for various reasons have been prominent in undergraduate life ... one cannot help noticing that these men have nearly always shown from the start an interest in the lives of their fellow students. A large acquaintance means that many persons are dependent on a man and conversely that he himself is dependent on many. Success necessarily means larger responsibilities, and responsibilities mean many friends.
    Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
