Described as the brainchild of Shehbaz Sharif when he was the Chief Minister of Punjab,[2] the schools admit 110 students annually in which 10 fee-paying students can also take admission out of total 110 students and the remaining 100 are admitted on merit and are offered free of cost education.[3] The project of these schools was started in 2010. Students study in 14 daanish schools (7 for boys and 7 for girls).[4] The school administration runs on the basis of an act uniquely established for these schools called The Daanish School Act passed by Provincial Assembly of the Punjab.
