The Role of education as a major change factor hardly needs any exaggeration.
Among the distinguishing characteristics of developing economies, education is a measuring tool in determining the status of a nation. The availability of efficient educational and training institutions with professionally skilled manpower can turn fortunes for any country.
Therefore, education has always been our priority sector and the present Government has been making all out efforts to provide maximum opportunities to students desirous of education. It is encouraging to note that enrollment in educational institutions and public inclination towards higher education is increasing which proves that governmental efforts for promotion of education are fructifying.
It will not be out of place to mention public sector universities, along with private sector universities, have been playing an important role in meeting the diverse and increasing educational demands of students in the province. In this regard, the contribution of Sarhad University of Science & Technology, Peshawar, is commendable and deserves to be placed on record.
It is hoped that Sarhad University will continue playing its significant role in the advancement of knowledge and growth of the provincial economy by providing learning opportunities at the doorstep of those interested in pursuing higher education.
