HEC scholarships for meritorious students
HEC comes up with 1,500 scholarships
Islamabad, Aug 10: The Higher Education Commission (HEC) has planned 1,500
scholarships for meritorious students wanting to pursue higher education in
nursing and midwifery. This was announced by HEC In-charge Shehnaz Wazir
Ali at a seminar on 'Making a Difference: Image Building of Nursing &
Midwifery Professionals' at the National Institute of Health Sciences
(NIHS). The HEC in-charge, while acknowledging the unavailability of
quality nursing professionals in the country and lack of adequate educational
opportunities for nurses, was of the view that the plan, once executed, would
supply qualified, trained nurses and midwives to the national health system that
would ensure better medical services in the country. She regretted that
the provision of quality education to health professionals, especially nurses,
has never been a priority of successive governments, and added that however the
present government is committed to provide better educational opportunities and
due societal respect and status to nurses and midwives. "We're taking up these
issues on priority basis," she said. The HEC in-charge appreciated the
collaboration between the Defence Housing Authority (DHA) and Harvard Medical
International (HMI), USA, for detting up the NIHS consisting of colleges for
nursing, pharmacy, allied health, dentistry and medicine, and billed the project
as a symbol of close cooperation between Pakistan and the US. NIHS
Executive Director Dr. Arif Siddiqui, on the occasion, said that the DHA,
Islamabad, has decided to set up a state-of-the-art teaching hospital along with
a medical university in collaboration with the HMI to meet the demand for a
quality medical institution in the country. DHAI Education Foundation
President Shahid Ahmed Khan said that the College of Nursing & Midwifery at
NIHS would produce quality nurses and develop a faculty for nursing and
midwifery programmes in the country. He said with particular emphasis on
training of nursing and allied health staff, the college would meet the
educational needs of nursing and midwifery students at Bachelors, Masters and
PhD levels. During the session, nursing professionals from across the
country highlighted issues and challenges confronting them. Partners of
Harvard Medical International (PHMI), Massachusetts, USA, and Vice President Dr
Thomas Aretz also attended the seminar that was followed by a function, in which
Defence Secretary Athar Ali distributed certificates to participants of the
faculty development programme on the successful completion of training. The news

Scholars urged to utilise energy in research work
Islamabad: Federal Minister for Parliamentary Affairs Dr Babar Awan on Saturday
called upon Muslim scholars to utilise all their energies on research work for
the benefit of Muslim Ummah. He stated this while addressing the
concluding ceremony of the Training Course on Imams, organised by the Dawah
Academy of International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI). He urged
the Ulema for their vital role in inculcating positive thinking in the minds of
the young generation, adding that it is the need of the hour to change the
education system across the country for socio-economic prosperity and Ulema
should be taught about the importance of modern science & technology
education for public to compete in the global competition for
development. Babar Awan said that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) is a source of
guidance for the Muslim Ummah as well as all humanity across the world and urged
to follow the teachings of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) for global peace and
prosperity. Rector IIUI Prof Fateh Muhammad Malik said the present age
is the age of science & technology and Ulema should tell the general public
about the protection and importance of human rights to eliminate the menace of
extremism and sectarianism from society. Islam always gives the message of
peace, unity and brotherhood, and Ulema should play their role in the promotion
of harmony, he said. Chairman Dawah Academy IIUI Sahabzada Sajidur Rehman
also spoke on the occasion and presented the performance report of the
Academy. The federal minister on the occasion also awarded certificates
among the 40 students, who attended the two-month training course. The news

Punjab, Sindh to give scholarships to NWFP girl students: Gul
Peshawar: Awami National Party (ANP) Working Committee Member Gul
Mina Bilal Ahmad Sunday said that over 1,200 female students from the five most
backward districts of the province would get scholarships for FA and FSc classes
from different educational institutions of the Punjab and Sindh. In a statement,
Gul Mina said that the deserving female students from Chitral, Shangla, Tank,
Hangu and Kohistan would benefit from these scholarships, as they often
abandoned education because of poor economic condition of their families. The
ANP leader said that the governments of the Punjab and Sindh would bear the
expenses of these deserving female students. The provincial government would
open more educational institutions to enhance the female literacy rate in the
province, Gil Mina said, adding that the government had planned to ensure women
participation in the development of the province, as without their participation
it was hard to achieve the targeted goals. Daily Times
