Re: KARACHI: 20 institutions to get 1,947 acres in Education City
There is a difference between a noble prize winner being a Pakistani, and Pakistan producing a noble prize winner.
Unfortunately, we are way far behind to be able to produce a noble prize winner scientist.
This focus on higher education is another idea of Dr. Ata ur Rehman. He says that primary education is essential, but it is not a panacea for a nation to be developed. As an example he cites Sri Lanka, where 99% population is literate, but with very basic education, and this education has not helped them in development.
So he says it is necessary to improve higher education in order to achieve development.
