Education is the foundation of all future societies. Consequently, the content, nature, goals and reality of the prevailing education system in Pakistan and other muslim countries is of utmost importance in fulfilling our ambitions and vision of an ideal society. The strengths and weaknesses of the system, and whether it is all an inclusive version or specifically for the priviliged few, whether it caters for the poor as well as the rich, are issues which must be considered in evolving an integrated holistic system.

This seminar will attempt to highlight the issues and concerns through collation of expert panellists and speakers, and how we can channel a collective path forward to produce an integrated education system. This is an opportunity to listen, learn and impart relevant theoretical and practical ideas to bring about lasting change within the education system, the foundation for a bright socio-economic future.
