The University of London has decided to begin its academic operations in Lahore, which is a significant step towards improving educational possibilities in Punjab.
The decision comes after Punjab Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in response to her suggestion that the students should receive top-notch education.
The goal of the action taken by Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif is to give Punjab students access to education from a prestigious London university.
Additionally, efforts are underway to bring more international universities to the province in order to broaden the breadth of higher education.
Professor Wendy Thompson, the vice chancellor of the University of London, met with Senior Minister Marriyum Aurangzeb as scheduled to talk about the start of the Semester Exchange Program. A delegation of academic experts from the University of London also attended the discussion, which was centered on Punjab-UK student exchange opportunities and educational cooperation.
The University of London was invited by Maryam Nawaz Sharif to establish an office in Punjab as part of the talks in order to strengthen ties and make educational possibilities more easily available.
According to Maryam Aurangzeb, Chief Minister Maryam Nawaz Sharif has increased the amount of scholarships available, with 60% of them going to female students. Previously covering only 30,000 students, the scholarships will now cover 50,000, a substantial increase that will further advance gender equality in education.
