Pakistani vice chancellors to learn and share insights in the Singapore education moot

The Going Global Asia Pacific Conference will be held in Singapore from November 28 to December 1.

The moot organized by British Council will provide a strategic forum for leaders in international education to share knowledge and build a global network to shape the future of higher education across the world.

The largest delegation at the conference is from Pakistan with 15 vice-chancellors, led by Higher Education Commission chairman Dr Mukhtar Ahmed.

Seven of the vice-chancellors, including six women, will speak at various sessions.

According to it, the moot, the first regional edition of its flagship event will mark 75 years of its presence in Singapore and its role in advancing the city-state’s growth story through its work in the English language, education, arts, and culture.

The conference will explore the theme of International Education in the United Kingdom (UK) and Asia Pacific region: How to pursue equity in an inequitable world – an especially pertinent topic at a time when disparities in educational opportunities are on the rise due to the global pandemic.

It aims to reimagine the future of education and build stronger, more inclusive, internationally connected education systems through the exchange of insight, learning, and ideas to benefit hundreds of millions of people across the UK and Asia Pacific region.
