China has been helping Pakistani students get good quality education by offering scholarships in various disciplines including applied sciences and social sciences, and experts believe that the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) has the potential to revamp education system in Pakistan by promoting distant and e-learning in the country.
“China is spending billions of dollars in Pakistan under various projects, and the second phase of CPEC will focus on social sector projects in which the Chinese government will help Pakistan in education among other social fields. It is the need of the hour that Pakistan introduces policies to make the best use of the Chinese support in the field of e-learning,” Nazir Ahmed Sangi said.
Sangi, former vice chancellor of Islamabad-based distant learning university Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU), said that China was much advanced than Pakistan in terms of e-learning as there are only two universities including AIOU and Virtual University in Pakistan for distant learning
China can help Pakistani students in e-learning by helping the education sector’s officials make similar policies like in China, and local universities can follow that pattern for distant learners, he said.
A Memorandum of Understanding has already been signed by China and Pakistan in last September, under which China will provide e-learning facility and establishment of smart schools in Pakistan.
