Article Issues

I have added a number of maintenance tags to this article as recently created. The main problems that need to be addressed are:

Referencing - the article needs citations from sources to verify the information and claims presented.
The tone and tense of the article - it needs to be rewritten objectively - in the third person without use of the terms 'we' and 'our'.
There is way to much unverifiable detail and opinion - phrases such as "As a result of his untiring efforts", "We mention with gratitude that most of the graduates serving in various parts are the products of his period at Zahira", "We are also duty bound to mention", "The school is filled with pride due to the dedication and hard work of the teachers who mould the students for a better future." are not in keeping with wikipedias guidelines on neutrality and original research.
Repetition - especially names. Names should be shortened to use only the last name after the first mention.
Length - the article needs to be trimmed down, some of which will occur naturally by addressing the points above.

@Mfield: There are 7 different tags on this article, which mostly appear redundant. Did you add all of these tags to this article? Jarble (talk) 02:27, 12 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
