[edit] Educational Institutes

First of all a few lines on the history of how this small town started benefiting from the College Education.

When the only girls college was founded, there was no woman principal available in the district. The Principal of Boy's College came up to the challenge and successfully ran the girl's college along with his normal duties for next few years. He carries the honor of being the Founder of Boy's College in Fateh Jang. He spent more than a decade of his life trying to provide the citizens of this town an opportunity for quality college education. All the Credit goes to him for getting the land donation from Sardar Attique Khan. This is where the current Boy's college building stands. And now, let me introduce this great person, he is no other than Syed Aslam Kazmi.

Fateh Jang is also famous for three things; Pathar (stones), Jhakkar (High Winds) and Gheba sardar's (a cast of Landlords).

At this time here are working some govt. educational institutes i.e one boys degree college, one girls degree college, 2 boys secondary schools and 3 girls secondary school are spreading the education in the town and there are some famous institutes of quality education, Cadet college, The Educators, Fauji Foundation, THE WISE Institute of Science & Education(for Girls), FJ public school ,Neoken Public School and Zamurrad public School are top listed educational Institutes of the city.
