51 Pak students to get higher edu in Australia
STAFF REPORT ISLAMABAD: As part of its initiative to promote research in various fields, the Australian government has awarded scholarships to 51 Pakistani professionals to undertake Masters level study at Australian universities in 2011.
“The scholarship holder will study subjects agreed with the government of Pakistan that address key development needs in the country including maternal, neonatal and child health, primary education, rural development, food security and agriculture,” says a statement issued by the Australian High Commission.
During a pre-departure briefing to the students, Rebekah Grindlay, the Australia's Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan, told them the Australian Development Scholarships programme provides education opportunities for people from less-developed areas in Pakistan, including Balochistan, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the FATA.
She said that the scholarship recipients are required to return to Pakistan after completing their studies, ensuring that they bring their newly acquired skills home to contribute to the development of their country.
She also said that his country would continue the scholarships awarding initiative in future especially for the backward areas of Pakistan as it would play a significant role in bringing these areas at par with the other developed areas of Pakistan.
