NAZEER HUSSAIN UNIVERSITY WILL COMPETE WITH INTERNATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: TARIQ MIR
GOOD EDUCATION IS THE MOST IMPORTANT NEED IN MODERN TIME
KARACHI: 13TH APRIL
2012:
Professional Education is the sine qua non for the survival and
progress of Pakistan and full attention will have to be given to the education
along with defence for the national security. These views were expressed by Mr
Tariq Mir at the inaugural function of Nazeer Hussain University (NHU) in
Karachi.
Mr Mir is the President of NHU and founder and managing trustee
of the Society for Unwell and Needy (SUN), an international welfare
organization.
Mr Mir said that lack of proper education and ignorance was
incongruous with the 21st century.
He said that the NHU would prove to be a milestone in the progress and
advancement of the country.
Mr Mir said it was unfortunate that the Pakistani universities
were not at par with international standards. He said that the NHU would not
only compete with the international universities in high standards but it would
equip the students for better employment.
Speaking about the programmes being offered by the university Mr
Mir said that initially admissions would be given in the faculties of
engineering, architecture and business administration. He said that the faculty
of medicine would also start functioning soon.
Mr Mir said that highly qualified teachers living outside the country would also participate in the process of teaching through video conferencing.
Mr Mir said that the admission process would start from August
2012 and initially 1000 students would be admitted. The university, spreading on
an area of 15 acre, has future expansion plans to accommodate 5000 students in
various faculties.
Mr Mir said that hostel and sports facilities would also be
provided to the students.
Deputy Conveners of the Co-ordination Committee of the MQM Dr
Muhammad Farooq Sattar, Mr Anis Ahmed Qaimkhani, Mrs Nasreen Jalil, Dr Nusrat
Shoukat, other members of the committee, MNAs, MPAs and senators were also
present on the occasion.
