During their recent tour of Pakistan, Mr. Askar Aitmatov (centre), Advisor to the President of the Kyrgyz Republic, and his delegation visited Aga Khan University (AKU). They discussed with Dr. Shamsh Kassim-Lakha, President of AKU, the progress of the University of Central Asia, being sponsored by His Highness the Aga Khan. Mr. Aitmatov was very impressed with AKU facilities, as well as the systems, which ensured that the highest standards of education were maintained. He was especially interested in the students’ admission process, which is merit-based, irrespective of class, colour, creed or gender. The delegation also visited the AKU-Institute for Educational Development at the University’s Karimabad campus, which is a role model for the new school in Osh being built by Aga Khan Development Network. AKU-IED assured the delegation of their full assistance to the much-needed school project. The delegation also held deliberations with the leadership of the Aga Khan Education Service, Pakistan.
