History

Established on June 1, 1975, it encompasses educational institutions across various Pakistani cities and towns.[1] With the formation of this directorate, all employees within these institutions became Federal Government civil servants as per the Civil Servants Act of 1973.[1]

In September 1977, the control and management of these institutions shifted to the General Headquarters (GHQ), placing the FGEI (C/G) Directorate under the umbrella of the Federal Ministry of Defence.[1] The directorate works in tandem with the GHQ, Military Formations, and the Ministry of Defence (MoD).[1] It receives budgetary allocations for employee salaries and the development of new institutions from the Ministry of Finance, mediated through the MoD.[1]

The FGEI (C/G) Directorate falls within the structure of the IGT&E's Branch and is led by a Director General.[1] In an effort to enhance administrative efficiency, three Brigadiers have been added to the structure, bringing the total to 12 subordinate Regional Offices.[1] These offices are based in Peshawar, Wah, Rawalpindi, Chaklala, Kharian, Lahore, Multan, Bahawalpur, Gujranwala, Karachi, Fazaia, and Quetta. Offices in Bahawalpur, Chaklala, Gujranwala, and Fazaia are operational on an ad-hoc basis.[1]

In 2011, the Government of Pakistan converted federal government colleges in Islamabad into model colleges.[2]
