Historical Background: At a time when the condition of education of Muslims in the walled city of Delhi was miserable, and the education of girls did not get the approval of their parents, it was the dream of Late Abdul Hameed Sahab to bring the girls into mainstream education. It was his deep desire to give to the society an educational institution that was futuristic in form and content , and that would preserve the cultural heritage and integrate traditional wisdom with emerging global trends. His mission got support from Mirza Mehmood Beg and Qazi Irshad Sahab. Hakeem sahib founded Rabea Girls’ Public School in 1973 in memory of his great visionary mother Mohtarma Rabea Begum who had played a vital role in the establishment and development of the school. In 1973, the school began in two rooms of a building in Ballimaran, which was being used as Tibbya College and also as a boys’ hostel. Just three children got enrolled in the beginning. Hakim sahib requested the first Vice Principal, Mrs. Zulaikha Afaq to visit homes in old Delhi and request parents to send their daughters to school. As the number of students grew and there was paucity of space, the Pre Primary classes started being run in the evening shift. Then in 1996, a new building was hired closeby, to run these classes. A nominal fee was charged from the children and if two sisters came from one family, fee was charged for only one child. Later, a school uniform was implemented. As the number of students increased with the passage of time, it became pertinent to house the school in another building and then the middle and senior sections of the school were shifted to a third building in Katra Dina Beg in 2005.The school got its affiliation from CBSE during the session 1986-’87 and was upgraded to senior secondary school during the session 1991-’92. All three subject streams-Science, Commerce and Humanities were offered at senior secondary level.
