Allama Iqbal Open University Vice-Chancellor Nazir Ahmed Sangi will meet Indira Gandhi National Open University Vice-Chancellor Gopinath Pradhan in New Delhi tomorrow to share experiences on promoting distance learning systems.
Sangi is currently on a four-day visit to India to attend a meeting of the Advisory Council of the Commonwealth Educational Media Centre for Asia.
During the meeting with Pradhan, Sangi is expected to share their experiences and expertise on promoting education through distance learning.
This may be a "good beginning for bilateral cooperation between the two countries in the education sector at the level of open universities", said a statement issued today by Allama Iqbal Open University.
The Commonwealth Centre was established by the Commonwealth of Learning at Vancouver in Canada for the cooperation among Asian countries of the Commonwealth in educational media resources.
It also works to enhance capabilities of Asian countries in distance teaching.
