ISLAMABAD: The Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) will set up its regional campus in Chitral next year to provide state-of-the art educational facilities to the students of the far-flung region.
An announcement to this effect was made by Prof Dr Nazir Ahmad Sangi during his five-day visit to Chitral. The campus will consist of facilities like videoconferencing, a well-equipped workshop, training and a study centre. He met senior officers of the district and sought their support for the early establishment of the campus.
He said that if the district administration provided the university with a piece of land, the university would establish necessary infrastructure from within its own resources.
In order to facilitate seminary students, he assured that the AIOU would consider bringing necessary changes in the existing syllabus of Islamiat subject so the students could positively contribute to the development of society, in line with the Islamic teachings.
The AIOU, he added, could also introduce subjects on tourism, handicraft and livestock for the benefit of the local people. online
