Delegation of Swedish vist AIOU

Islamabad: Allama Iqbal Open University (AIOU) is amongst the four mega universities in Distance Learning Education System around the world, said Prof Dr Mehmood-ul-Hassan Butt, Vice Chancellor AIOU.

Talking to a delegation of Swedish journalist, writer and renowned poet Peter Curman here Monday, the VC said AIOU is not only spreading education but also creating knowledge for the sake of introducing a positive identification of the country at national, social and international levels.

"It's one of the qualities of this University that it has 52 per cent female students and it gives more attention towards female education for the reason that male education benefits only one person while the education of a female benefits the whole family," he said.

He said more than 200 theses of MPhil and PhD have been written so far by scholars under the supervision of Department of Iqbaliyat, adding that poets and writers are the assets of society because they struggle by their skills for decreasing the distance between different nations and societies and give the real shape of 'Global Village' to social conception.

Peter Curman, the Swedish poet, is one of the few writers who played his role in the closing in of the west and east with each other by his skill, highlighting Pakistani culture and literature in his books which is the reflection of his affection with the people of Pakistan.

Peter Curman said AIOU has risen with optimistic identification and is serving the country in the education sector more than other educational institutions.

Renowned intellectual from Karachi Prof Dr Muhammad Ali Siddiqui said the poetry of Peter Curman is different from other western poets, comprising topics relating to human beings.
