Chairman Senate addresses Iqra University\u2019s 25th Degree Awarding Ceremony<\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Islamabad \u2013 At the 25th Degree Awarding Ceremony of Iqra University Islamabad, Chairman Senate, Syed Yousuf Raza Gilani, as chief guest delivered a powerful message to the graduating classes of 2023 and 2024, emphasising them to embrace the changing world with knowledge, innovation, and a commitment to national progress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony, held at the Jinnah Convention Centre, celebrated the hard work and dedication of over 500 graduates, marking a significant milestone in their academic journey. Gilani highlighted the importance of education in shaping Pakistan\u2019s future and called on universities to play a pivotal role in equipping students for the demands of a rapidly evolving global landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe world around us is changing fast. Technological advances such as AI, Machine Learning, Genomics, Internet of Things, Blockchain, and Quantum Computing necessitate our students to develop their faculties to match the new requirements of the job market,\u201d said Gilani. He emphasized the importance of cognitive, socio-emotional, and digital learning skills to ensure employability in this new era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilani remarked on the transformation of Pakistan\u2019s economic structure, stating, \u201cAs we transition to a knowledge economy, we see a shift from traditional growth factors to building human and intellectual capital for sustainable increase in GDP. The predominant source of influence in the modern world stems from information, intelligence, and insight rather than physical power or natural resources.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Drawing inspiration from renowned futurist Alvin Toffler, Gilani quoted, \u201cThe illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.\u201d He urged educational institutions to be proactive in fostering critical thinking, innovation, and leadership in students, thereby contributing to Pakistan\u2019s economic and social growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilani also emphasized the need for collaboration between the government, academia, and parliament to ensure that Pakistan\u2019s youth are equipped with the tools to thrive. \u201cWe must work together \u2013 the academia, the parliament, and the government \u2013 to ensure excellence and innovation in education,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gilani remembered the services of People\u2019s Party in providing admissions to schools and colleges for Muslims living in India. He further mentioned the improvement in the quality of education provided at Bahaiddin Zakaria University and said that hundreds of student were sent on fully funded scholarships abroad through Bahauddin Zakaria University<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concluding his speech, Gilani quoted Pakistan\u2019s founder, Quaid-e-Azam Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who famously said, \u201cPakistan is proud of her youth, particularly the students who have always been in the forefront in the hour of trial and need. You are the nation\u2019s leaders of tomorrow and you must fully equip yourself by discipline, education and training for the arduous task lying ahead of you.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
