BEIJING, Nov. 2 (INP): In a bid to provide Pakistani students with enhanced educational opportunities, local education consultancy firms are actively working to unlock the doors for students to study in China.  With its rich cultural heritage, world-class universities and emerging global influence, China has become an attractive destination for Pakistani students seeking higher education options abroad, Gwadar Pro reported on Thursday.

Muhammad Sajjad, founder of Hussnain Education Consultants Pvt Ltd, recently attended the highly anticipated 2023 China Annual Conference and Expo for International Cooperation held recently in Beijing. This significant event, renowned for its emphasis on fostering global partnerships and knowledge exchange, brought together 500 international influential figures from the education industry, government officials, and experts from around the world exchanged cutting-edge ideas, innovative ideas and latest practices on key issues of common concern to the world, such as international talent training, international mobility of students, and training of talents studying in China, etc.

With the aim of producing internationally qualified professionals to address the shortage of skilled experts in Pakistan, Mr Sajjad works with over 400 Chinese universities. He said that the conference and expo provided a platform for them to engage in meaningful discussions with Chinese and international education stakeholders.  “We had the chance to exchange ideas, explore potential collaborations, and strengthen our ties with even more educational institutions in China.” he added.

During his participation, Mr. Sajjad shared his insights, focusing on promoting Chinese universities as an attractive destination for Pakistani students seeking higher education opportunities.  China’s rapid economic growth and increasing global influence have led to the establishment of numerous scholarship programs and exchange initiatives specifically designed to attract international students.

Another key advantage of studying in China is the wide range of academic disciplines available. Chinese universities offer programs in fields such as engineering, medicine, business, computer science and social sciences, giving Pakistani students with diverse options to pursue their desired career paths.

He highlighted that educational cooperation between China and Pakistan is of paramount importance as it facilitates cultural exchange, knowledge transfer and economic growth. Not only does this collaboration enrich students with diverse perspectives, it also enhances diplomatic ties and fosters international goodwill. Hussnain Education Consultants aims to discover and nurture talented individuals in Pakistan through their 1000 Scholarships programme, focusing on medical and engineering fields taught at the advanced level in Chinese universities. 

“We want to work with more Chinese universities to offer a wider choice of subjects and make education more diverse. We also aim to provide more scholarships and opportunities for students to exchange ideas and experiences with Chinese students.” Sajjad concluded.
