Ghazi University

A university ought to meet our country's changing needs by building on innovation, problem-solving, and interdisciplinary. Its mission shall be to create and disseminate knowledge through research and creative inquiry, teaching, and learning and transfer our intellectual product to enhance society in meaningful and sustainable ways.
We need to identify the pressures of a constantly changing and increasingly competitive landscape.
Education is the bedrock of our country. We will need to work together and be prepared to think differently to ensure that the education imparted to our students remains of the highest quality. That education must be an excellent grounding that serves our students well in their immediate studies and equips them for further study or as highly sought-after graduates. This will not be easy, as the financial imbalance of education costs is, and will be, a growing problem. We must retain and grow the current quality of provision while protecting equality of opportunity across the University. The solution to this problem will primarily require leadership within the University. Fair access for the very best students is essential. A university must raise potential candidates' aspirations and continue to admit undergraduate students on the principle that intellectual potential is the sole criterion.
By supporting partnerships and expanding research fields through new collaborations, we will build our research capacity and continue to push the boundaries of innovation and discovery. We will deliver research and innovation clusters that strengthen multidisciplinary research and enhance knowledge transfer capability. These clusters will provide a forum for business, industry, and government partners.
The commitment to excellence and high achievement cannot be compromised as the University moves forward. We will face both the extra opportunity and real challenges in the next decade. The challenges include relentless competition for students and faculty, growing pressures and demands on resources, and the increasing complexity and uncertainty of our technological, economic, and political environments.
