St. Patrick's College (Karachi)
Saint Patrick's College, also known as Saint Patricks Government College, is a college located in Karachi, Pakistan affiliated with the University of Karachi. It is located alongside St Patrick's High School, Karachi.
History
It was established in 1952 by the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Karachi. 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. The Father Stephen Raymond Scholarship Program for students was launched by the college in 2014. On January 5, 2020, the fifth scholarship ceremony was held at the College, attended by Cardinal Joseph Coutts.
