Shares
KARACHI: Higher Education Commission (HEC) Chairman Professor Dr Mukhtar Ahmed Pakistan has said that in the near future Pakistan will have smart classrooms, where - maybe in ten years - robots and online information would teach the students.
He was delivering his address on a video link from HEC Secretariat, Islamabad on the occasion of the opening ceremony of two days mega International conference entitled “Pakistan Computer Society Congress 2017” organised by KU Computer Science department and IEEE Karachi section at HEJ -ICCBS Auditorium KU.
He said that we’ve always urged different professors to deliver lectures all around the country to different institutions since the concept of video link has occurred as a blessing enabling the feeling of proximity in the masses. “We need to get all sorts of technology to the local Pakistani people,” he said while telling that the government too is playing its part in supporting science and technology.
He stood firm on the decision of establishing more and more R&D centres in the University of Karachi and further said 'We will bring all kinds of technology to Pakistan and this country will never stay a single step behind'.
Prof Dr AttaUr Rehman, former chairman HEC said that countries invested heavily in education are getting the fruits of education by having world's leading economies after experiencing massive growth in the industrial and scientific sectors.
The extent of darkness that prevails in the developing countries is apparent from the fact that while 90 Nobel prizes have been awarded to the faculty members of only one university of UK, University of Cambridge and 32 Nobel prizes have been awarded to just one college of this university, Trinity College, not a single Nobel prize has ever been won by a single scientist working in an Islamic country which depicts that we still live in dark ages.
