Islamabad,Sep 24: Pakistan is planning to offer scholarships to Bangladeshi students for enrollment in its top-ranked universities.
An official from the Ministry of Education revealed that discussions are underway with leading universities to finalize a proposal for these scholarships.
The Pakistani High Commissioner has already met with Bangladeshi government officials in Dhaka to discuss this initiative, which was prompted by a request from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to encourage Bangladeshi students to pursue higher education in Pakistan.
“We are in discussions,” confirmed another official from the Ministry of Education. While the exact number of scholarships to be offered is yet to be determined, the official assured that it would be a substantial number.
Currently, Pakistan, through the Higher Education Commission, is also providing hundreds of scholarships to students from Afghanistan and Sri Lanka under separate federal government programs.
