Pakistan has been successful in breathing new life into the higher education sector and all this has been possible due to the highly fruitful partnerships created with Germany, Austria, France, Netherlands, UK, Sweden, China, Thailand and South Korea,” Federal Education Minister Ahsan Iqbal told the first Asia-Europe Education Ministers Conference (ASEM) in the German capital on Tuesday.

Noting that his country has greatly benefited from co-operation in higher education with ASEM countries, the Minister emphasised on the need to work for a world in which fruits of progress are shared by the people everywhere.

“While we chart a common future for our people we must be aware that our regions offer greatest diversity. Expenditure on education varies perhaps from 1% of GDP to 20% of GDP. GDP per capita itself varies from US$ 300 to $45,000, poverty levels may be approaching more than 30% in some countries.”

Setting aside “one size fits all solution” Iqbal endorsed the views of South Korea that an unequal and imbalanced relationship in the higher education is not desirable.” We need to create a shared vision of global prosperity. The test of our leadership lies in turning globalization of knowledge into an opportunity for people in all regions,” he observed.

Explaining his country’s lack of required progress in education, the Minister said in Pakistan, for long time the need to connect higher education and research with market imperatives was ignored.

The government, he continued, is now fostering a new partnership based on industrial and agricultural clusters between private sector, public sectors and research institutions to create knowledge and technology triangles for sustainable development and global competitiveness.

He spoke about the recent introduction of a scheme for establishing Technology Colleges in the country in partnership with leading multinationals for preparing quality manpower for industry.

lose cooperation between universities, research centres and industry holds key to creating value investment in higher education, Iqbal pointed out.

Iqbal proposed that science parks and incubation centres be established between ASEM countries along with research and development centres of the industrial leaders saying this will allow the developed countries access to the best talent while ensuring that benefits accrue to the local economy along with the bonus retention of talent in the developing country.

“It truly represents a win-win situation and Pakistan would be ready to provide all possible infrastructure support in its leading research universities to host such an initiative by ASEM partner countries.”

He further said: “We also feel that there is great hidden potential in the developing countries. There is a need to develop research centres which can tap indigenous knowledge in these countries. It will be a good idea to establish an ASEM resource centre in this area. The Pakistan-German university to be launched in the fall of this year can host such an imitative.”

Earlier, Pakistani Education Minister proposed that the conference should observe one minute silence to mark solidarity with the people of Myanmar on the human tragedy that has befallen them due to the cyclone Nargis.

The proposal was accepted on which the Minister of Myanmar thanked Pakistani delegation for this gesture.
