Four Pakistani scholars, who recently returned after completing their doctoral studies in the United States, highlighted their research and experiences during a panel discussion on education at a local hotel. In addition to the discussion, US Agency for International Development (USAID) Pakistan Mission Director Gregory Gottlieb and Pakistan Higher Education Commission Member Dr G. Raza Bhatti highlighted US-Pakistan co-operation in the education sector.
The four scholars are part of a USAID-funded scholarship programme that sent 34 Pakistani students to complete doctoral studies in the United States. The scholars, who are from wide range of academic disciplines, will return to Pakistan to serve as faculty members at top Pakistani universities. During the event, Gottlieb noted, "These scholars are the bridge to the continuous improvement and modernisation of teacher education in Pakistan. They have brought back to Pakistan a wealth of personal and professional experience, which can bring about a transformative change in the education sector."-PR
