PESHAWAR: Efforts to attract international universities to the proposed Education City near Swabi seem to have proven fruitful, as four more international universities have expressed an interest in opening their campuses.
In addition to the University of Bradford, the University of Cambridge and University of Nottingham from England, University of Pennsylvania from the United States, and Victoria University from Australia have initiated talks with the Higher Education Department (HED) regarding outposts in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa (K-P).
An HED official, requesting anonymity, told The Express Tribune that a Pakistani delegation held a meeting with representatives of the institutions at the Education World Forum, an education seminar held annually in London, United Kingdom. The official said the delegation met around 40 representatives from international universities and were expecting a positive response from them. He added Chief Minister (CM) Pervez Khattak has asked for initial plans of the proposed city, which shows the government wants to complete the project as soon as possible.
“We had moved a summary, but the CM said the summary should be resent with the initial plans so the budget is also approved,” said the official.
K-P Assembly Speaker Asad Qaiser, who was also a member of the delegation, said a memorandum of understanding would also soon be signed with Queen Mary University of London.
“The British government and universities have agreed to play a vital role in developing the project,” said Qaiser. “They also showed willingness to hold a seminar in Pakistan to call international universities to open their campuses in Education City.”
The speaker shared that the government plans on inaugurating the project next year. He added the city will be directly linked with the job market, so that unemployment can be overcome simultaneously.
On December 13, 2013, around 20 universities of national and international repute showed their interest in the project. The city, being built near Jehangira, will cover 30,000 kanals of land where National University of Science and Technology, Bahria University and a few other leading universities have already agreed upon opening campuses.

Vaccination drive cuts refusal cases in Peshawar
PESHAWAR: The ‘Sehat Ka Insaf’ immunisation programme launched by the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa government has reduced the number of polio refusal cases by 49 per cent in Peshawar district, a document reveals.
In a major development, the ‘Sehat Ka Insaf’ immunisation package, of which polio eradication is a major portion, has dramatically reduced the number of families refusing oral polio vaccine (OPV) for their children, sources said, adding that this had put a question mark on the strategies and funds used for the last 20 years by previous governments for countering polio refusals.
According to the official data sheet of ‘Sehat Ka Insaf’ anti-polio round held last Sunday, copy of which is available with Dawn, 2,865 children were not covered in Peshawar district due to refusals of parents to allow polio teams to administer OPV to their children, whereas according to the official statistics concerning polio campaign held in November last year, this number stood at 6,107.
According to the data, the maximum number of refusals was recorded in Adezai union council of Peshawar where 342 families refused polio drops, which was followed by 219 refusals in Shaheen Muslim Town, the constituency of health minister Shaukat Ali Yousufzai.
However, in November’s anti-polio campaign, Shaheen Muslim Town had recorded 345 refusals by parents, which was the maximum number of refusal cases in Peshawar district.
During the last week’s ‘Sehat Ka Insaf’ drive, the number of refusing families were recorded without conducting any catch-up activity by polio teams, which could have reduced the number of defiant families. “In the next round, this number is expected to drop further,” said sources involved in the campaign.
Officials attributed this success to repackaging of the immunisation drive. The massive visibility of the campaign along with involvement of thousands of PTI Tabdeeli Razakaars (volunteers) is making the provincial government’s vaccination programme a success.
The sources said that the involvement of community had helped in coverage of a number of refusals in areas where conventional polio campaigns had failed.
Sources said that some the health department officials appointed during the tenure of the previous government were worried about the success of the new vaccination campaign.
They said that such people might try silently to sabotage the campaign because success of the present campaign would prove that polio eradication could be achieved by utilising much smaller resources and through a single day campaigns. “This will call for the accountability of previous campaigns and governments,” they said.

I wonder if the PTI government has made any plans to restore Malam Jabba ski resort, installing new chairlifts and building a new hotel, reduce deforestation in Kaghan valley and develop scenic upper Dir valley where there is great potential for tourism.
