Six high school students from Pakistan this year will continue their education in B&H. They received two-year scholarship by the United World College (UWC) from Mostar and will soon arrive to our country.
Ambassador of B&H to Pakistan, Nedim Makarević, said that this is the first time for Pakistani students to come to end their high school education at the College in Mostar.
He added that UWC was attended by couple of students from Afghanistan so far, but from the next school year, for the first time, in our country will come Pakistani students as well.
Ambassador Makarević said that he tried to inform wider Pakistani public about the UWC in Mostar, but the initiative came from the UWC itself whose representatives, or their partner organizations in Pakistan, held a larger number of presentations for students in Pakistan who were interested in project.
Interested students applied for a two-year scholarship, and after a rigorous selection, six of them received scholarships. Thus, in September, in B&H or more specifically in Mostar, will arrive Ahmed Hira, Bibi Noor, Ghani Syed Arsalan, Kamal Ahmed Waris, Burdi Khuda and Rafej Raja Abdur.
UWC is the global educational non-governmental organization which gathers students from all around the world, who are elected by their national committees according to their own merits and success, and regardless of their possibility to pay. Students receive a two-year scholarship in Mostar, where they finish 3rd and 4th grade of high school.
Ambassador Makarević already met with families of children who will soon travel to B&H. The process of obtaining visas is already running, and the other procedures related to their arrival in B&H are slowly ending as well.
