Habib University has launched the “Horizon” initiative, aiming to promote quality education and support research in Pakistan. The initiative was unveiled at an event attended by prominent figures in Pakistan, including Unilever Pakistan CEO Amir Paracha, Nutshell Group founder Azfar Ahsan, and Dawlance CEO Umar Ahsan Khan.

Habib University has developed a unique and world-class liberal arts curriculum designed to be contextually relevant to the South Asian context and heritage. This curriculum aims to provide students with a holistic education that fosters critical thinking, creativity, and a deeper understanding of their cultural and societal surroundings.

Amir Paracha highlighted the significance of transforming education to meet global expectations. He emphasized that employees should be seen as investments rather than costs, especially in the education sector, where nurturing talent is crucial.

Dr. Sarah Stein Greenberg from Stanford d.School stressed the importance of modern, thoughtfully designed learning environments. She pointed out that well-designed spaces are essential for students’ intellectual journeys, aligning with the idea that modern education demands modern spaces.
