  Karachi Grammar School - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Karachi Grammar School (KGS) is a co-educational private school in Karachi, Pakistan and one of the country's premier educational institutions.
The four school houses are Frere (for Henry Bartle Frere), Napier (for Charles James Napier), Papworth (for a former principal), and Streeton.
Amongst many, attendance at the school has acquired a meaning that stretches beyond a measure of one's intellect, and is in fact used as a measure of social status.

Schooling should certainly not be about deciding who is worthy of a good education at the age of 11, and sending all the failures to the educational scrap heap.
The claim that poor children have equal access to selective schools was refuted by the free school meal comparisons which show that there are huge differences between the proportion of children in grammar schools eligible for free school meals and the proportion in the local community.
