UET Peshawar entered into collaboration with Khwendo Kor (KK), a non-profitable, non-governmental and non-partisan organization with Prof. Dr. Iftikhar Hussain, Vice Chancellor UET Peshawar, and. Khalid Usman, Director Operations KK signed the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) in presence of senior officials of UET Peshawar and Khwendo Kor.
The MoU aims for women empowerment and to encourage them to take active part after completing their education in the unpresented sectors of Industry, technical field jobs, and business management.
The Vice chancellor UET Peshawar Prof. Dr. Iftikhar Hussain said, this is a very clear fact that women are in minority in the STEM education although there is an increasing trend when compared with last decade’s statistics.
This prompted the university management interest to prepare the UET students to minimise the impact of obstacles that cause under representation of women in STEM jobs. He said UET Peshawar strongly believes in women empowerment. KK is presenting a soft image of Pakistan to the world which is appreciable, he added.
