Don't Use Education for Making Money; President

Education not for making money

President Abdul Hamid on February 08, 2017 called upon all concerned to consider education as a weapon of development and progress of the nation and its citizens, not to use it as a tool for making profit.

"Consider education as the weapon for development of the country and its people. Country's people expect that education won't be used for profit making business entities anyway", he said while addressing the 16th convocation of East West University (EWU).

President Hamid, also the chancellor of the university, said universities must ensure quality of higher education to create enlightened people, not the certificate-oriented education. Congratulating the new graduates, Abdul Hamid advised the graduates to devote themselves to the task of nation-building along with their professional activities.

He asked the new graduates to remember this country and its contribution, saying that family, this society as well as the country have contributed a lot to bringing them to this position. He hoped that they (students) would be able to create an imitative instance of honesty, efficiency and patriotism through applying their respective potentialities.
