PACE Education Group celebrates 25 years of legacy and innovation with silver jubilee kickoff

On October 7, 2025, PACE Education Group kicked off its 25th Silver Jubilee celebrations with an official ceremony at PACE British School, Sharjah. The highly anticipated PACE Silver Jubilee Banner Drop took place at 10:15am (UAE time), marking the start of this significant milestone in the group’s journey.

The event was a dynamic and symbolic celebration of unity, creativity, and the global spirit of PACE. In addition to the main event in Sharjah, all PACE schools across the network participated in similar banner drop ceremonies, ensuring the jubilant spirit of the occasion was felt far and wide

As part of the ceremony, students from across 25 countries dressed in their traditional costumes, representing the diversity of the PACE family. The Banner Drop was accompanied by eco-friendly balloons and the release of white pigeons, symbolizing hope, peace, and the aspirations of generations of students

The event honored the legacy of the late Dr. P.A. Ibrahim Haji, whose vision, dedication, and foresight transformed education into a global movement of empowerment, inclusivity, and excellence. Ensuring accessible education was a fundamental priority in our founder’s vision. This day marked the beginning of a year-long celebration of his vision, values, and enduring impact.

At PACE Group, we believe in providing every student with opportunities to grow, learn, and contribute creatively to the community—a philosophy that has guided the Silver Jubilee celebrations from the outset.

During the ceremony, the official Silver Jubilee logo was unveiled playing the PACE Anthem, symbolizing PACE’s unity, diversity, and progress. The celebrations were officially named: “PACE Silviora,” with the tagline:
“Honoring a Legacy, Illuminating the Future”.

The logo selection process was a unique, multi-tiered initiative that engaged the entire PACE community. On both the school and college premises, a live hand-drawn activity engaged 20,000 participants, ranging from Kindergarten to University students across the PACE Group. From these contributions, four logos were selected for an online poll open to all stakeholders—teachers, senior leadership, students, alumni, and the broader PACE community.

The involvement of alumni ensured a strong connection to past students, enhancing the inclusive spirit of the Silver Jubilee. Ultimately, the final design reflects the collective vision and unity of the PACE family. This inclusive process reflects the organization’s commitment to creativity, leadership, and shared ownership across the entire PACE network.

The name “Silviora”, PACE anthem and the official tagline were selected from the students through a collaborative process involving all stakeholders, including teachers, senior leadership, students, and the wider PACE community. The event was conducted under the guidance of the PACE Leadership and continues to inspire over 25,000 students from more than 85 nationalities in the UAE, out of a total of 36,000 students across India, UAE, and Kuwait.

The upcoming months of the Jubilee will continue to bring excitement and engagement across all campuses. October will focus on community service, wellness, and the spirit of PACE through sports and outreach activities, while November will celebrate the legacy, achievements, and bonds that define the PACE family.

December will culminate in a grand cultural and ceremonial finale, bringing together all institutions on one stage to honor the students whose logo, tagline, anthem, and event name were selected, along with loyalty awards, a commemorative video, and special initiatives.

The PACE Group also plays a key role in sustainable development programs, collaborating with various Ministries and NGOs, including the UAE Ministry of Education. The Group's institutions have already won several awards for such activities LIKE Environmental sustainability award, beeah awards, SSA awards

The celebrations were led by PACE Group Directors Latheef Ibrahim, Shafi Ibrahim, Abdullah Ibrahim, Ameen Ibrahim, Salman Ibrahim, Zubair Ibrahim, Bilal Ibrahim, Adil Ibrahim, Aseef Mohammed, Assistant Director Safa Azad, Vice Principal Shifana Muizz, and Principals and Vice Principals across institutions, who together form the organizing committee driving this historic commemoration.

From its beginnings with P.A. College of Engineering, Mangalore in 2000, PACE has grown into a global network of 20 institutions across the UAE, India, and Kuwait, including:

Additionally, PACE Group holds a stake in RIMS International School, Kannur, India, and the University of West London, Ras Al Khaimah.
