&nbsp;LAHORE, Oct 14: The Punjab University administration has taken up a &lsquo;serious issue&rsquo; of identifying that why girls are performing better in their studies and examinations and boys are lagging behind.
The PU administration has also constituted a committee to give recommendations as to how male students could be groomed in a better manner.
Chairing a meeting of deans of all faculties, PU Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran said it had been noticed that girl students were getting all positions in various examinations as well as grabbing most seats in various disciplines due to their high merit.
The VC stressed that the newly-admitted students possessed raw talent that needed to be honed and developed through proper grooming and counselling by respective academic departments&rsquo; heads and deans of faculties.
He said students mainly focussed on securing a degree to get some reasonable job but failed to become truly knowledgeable by seeking an in-depth insight into their areas of studies. In this connection, Prof Kamran stressed the need to revive tutorial system for their personal, intellectual academic and professional development.
The vice-chancellor constituted a special committee headed by pro-VC Prof Dr Jamil Anwar Chaudhry to give practicable recommendations within a week&rsquo;s time to be implemented by faculties&rsquo; deans and respective academic departments&rsquo; heads. The committee members are: Prof Dr Muhammad Ehsan Malik, Professor Emeritus Dr Khwaja Amjad Saeed, Prof Shaista Sonnu Sirajuddin, Prof Dr Rukhsana Kausar, Prof Dr Muhammad Hafeez and Col Ikramullah Khan (retired).
The meeting also decided to present a cash award of Rs100,000 to Gujranwala Campus MBA student Muhammad Inam, who had won a gold medal in freestyle wrestling at Commonwealth Games in New Delhi.
MOU: The Punjab University&rsquo;s Institute of Chemical Engineering and Technology (ICET) and Textile Testing International (TTI) have signed a memorandum of understanding to bridge the gap between academia and industry. At the MoU signing ceremony, PU VC Prof Dr Mujahid Kamran stressed the need to promote closer linkages between academia and industry to improve employability of varsity graduates in high-paying jobs both within and outside the country.
The VC said the newly-signed MoU that would help bridge the existing gap between the academia and the industry would also assist the students to get first hand insight into the recruitment requirements of industries.
Speaking on the occasion, Textile Testing International CEO Hamid Latif said their firm was a pioneer in the field of testing of textile products in Pakistan and had the largest accredited scope in the country. He said the TTI would assist varsity faculty to initiate short courses in the Chemical Engineering Institute for meeting the requirements of industry in general and improving performance of textile products in Pakistan in particular.
WELCOME PARTY: The PU administration is holding a grand welcome party for over 2,000 newly-admitted students of BA/BSc and MA/MSc at Faisal Auditorium at 10am on Thursday (today). VC Prof Kamran will speak to the students.
