A Brief History Our company Educational Supply Corporation was established in 1955. The founder my father, Abdus Salam Ansari was the first person to bring the concept of pre-primary and Montessori Educational Equipment in Pakistan. After the partition of Pakistan from India in 1947 he joined the US Embassy in Karachi as an AudioVisual Advisor in the United States Information Service (USIS). During his 30 year service he met and had meetings with many important people, and attended formal dinners with the then US President Lyndon B. Johnson and the famous movie mughal Cecille be.Demille’. He made many documentary films in Pakistan. Of the many he made one was called “The Silver Tide” on the newly opened Fish Harbor in Karachi and another which became very popular especially in Sindh was on one of the famous Muslim saints Hazrat Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. Both these documentaries can be found at the Smithsonian Museum in Washington. In the 50’s during one of his trips to the US while visiting a pre-primary school he realized that there was no educational concept for 2.5 to 6 year old children in Pakistan. In 1955 he founded Educational Supply Corporation and started manufacturing nursery and primary educational equipment. The Karachi Grammar School, Junior Section was the first school for which this educational equipment was manufactured and from then on after retiring from USIS he took it up as a full time profession. He studied the nature and method of the Montessori philosophy of education and equipment. Mrs. Gool K. Minwalla, (who later founded and became the president of Pakistan Montessori Association) was one of the very few ladies from Pakistan who had attended the Montessori Course conducted by Dr. Maria Montessori. She met Mr. Ansari and discussed with him and with her approval he started the manufacturing of the Montessori Equipment here in Pakistan. The Montessori Teachers Training Centre, Karachi associated with (Association of Montessori Internationale’ (AMI) Holland) was so impressed by the fine quality and workmanship of Mr. Ansari’s educational equipment meeting the International Standards that they made him the Sole Authorized manufacturer of Montessori Apparatus for Pakistan. Now into the 21st century Educational Supply Corporation is still engaged in manufacturing high quality Montessori Apparatus of international standards. We use the best quality wood, paints and other related materials in manufacturing our educational equipment both Nursery and Montessori. We are proud to say that schools throughout Pakistan, The Middle East, Europe, Canada, the USA and quite a few other countries of the world use our Montessori equipment. The quality, finish and durability of our materials are second to none. Salman A. Ansari Managing Director
