As Aga Khan School, Kharadar celebrates its Centennial Year (1926โ2026), we proudly feature Dr. Muhammad Ashfaq, whose journey from the classrooms of Kharadar to becoming an accomplished orthodontist, educator and researcher reflects the strong foundation of learning, discipline and curiosity nurtured at the school.
During his school years, Dr. Ashfaq consistently excelled academically, receiving several shields, certificates and awards. Yet, some of his strongest memories are of the teachers who shaped him โ Miss Anita, Miss Aneela Aziz, Sir Irshad, Miss Afshan, Sir Aziz, Sir Haider, Sir Abbas and Miss Khairunnisa. Their guidance helped build the confidence, discipline and commitment to learning that he carries with him today.
He also fondly remembers participating in a Grade VII performance at the Arts Council, where students performed โYe Watan Tumhara Haiโ by Mehdi Hassan โ a memory that continues to connect him with the pride and spirit of his school days.
After matriculation, Dr. Ashfaq studied at D.J. Sindh Government Science College and went on to complete his BDS from Karachi Medical and Dental College in 2011, followed by FCPS in Orthodontics in 2020. He later served as an Instructor in Orthodontics at Aga Khan University Hospital.
Today, alongside his clinical practice, he contributes to the education and mentorship of future dentists. His research interests include orthodontics, craniofacial development, smile aesthetics and CBCT-based diagnostics, with his work presented at national and international academic forums.
For Dr. Ashfaq, the impact of Aga Khan School, Kharadar went well beyond textbooks. Project-based and inquiry-based learning encouraged him to question, explore, collaborate and solve problems โ skills that continue to guide him as a clinician, educator and researcher.
From a young student at Aga Khan School, Kharadar to a healthcare professional contributing to clinical practice, education and research, Dr. Muhammad Ashfaqโs story is another chapter in our 100-year legacy of nurturing individuals who continue to make a difference.
๐ As we celebrate 100 years, we celebrate our alumni โ their journeys, their contributions and the school that helped shape their beginnings.
