642 pre-medical students for Cuban scholarship
ISLAMABAD, May 5(Daily Times): 642 students will constitute the last batch for General
Medicine Studies in Cuba. The programme has been jointly sponsored by the Cuban
Republic and Pakistan's Higher Education Commission (HEC).
The Cuban
government had announced the scholarship for 1,000 Pakistani students in 2005
when a Cuban medical and relief team visited Pakistan to help earthquake victims
in NWFP and AJK. According to HEC, selected students expected to leave in August
this year will complete their five-year graduate studies in general
comprehensive medicine (equivalent to MBBS) in Maximo Santiago Haza, a leading
Cuban medical institute recognised by the World Health Organisation. These
students will also undergo a one-year language-training programme in Spanish in
Cuba.
Cuba is hosting Muslim students for the first time and Pakistani
students are among the 27,000 international students, belonging to 120
countries, studying in Cuba. Cultural and religious facilities will also be
provided to fulfil students' particular requirements.
Out of 1,000, two
hundred scholarships are reserved for applicants from earthquake-affected areas,
as defined by the Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA).
The remaining 800 scholarships are being awarded to students from other areas of
Pakistan on a provincial quota basis. All Pakistani and AJK nationals between
the ages of 17 and 25 years securing at least 60 percent marks in FSc or A-level
may apply for this programme before June 9, 2007.
O-level and A-level
students, however, will have to provide an equivalent degree from the Inter
Board Committee of Chairmen. Those candidates who applied for the first batch
will have to reapply.
