Girls have secured 26 of 40 academic medals for first positions in different disciplines of BA/BSc (Hons) programme of GC University Lahore. However, boys secured 21 of 24 rolls of honour for excellent performance in co-curricular activities and sports.
Akhuwat founder Dr Muhammad Amjad Saqib and Virtual University Rector Professor Dr Naveed A Malick awarded medals and rolls of honours to these talented students at second and third sessions of the two-day convocation of the university.
As many 1,235 BA/BSc (Hons.) students were awarded degrees at the second day of the convocation. Addressing the young graduates, Professor Naveed A Malick said that era of single discipline degrees is over now; graduation is now just the first step of lifelong quest for knowledge.
Nobody could predict the future of job-market in five years, but one thing is obvious that it's now the era of horizontal integration; every scholar and professional need to know little about other fields as well, he said. Professor Malick believed that knowledge of humankind has moved out of textbooks and libraries; it now resides in cyber space i.e. internet.
He added that there are not much questions which are not answered by the internet now; you can learn from making Spanish food to electric circuits in the cyber space.
