British High Commissioner's determination to improve the skills of Pakistani youth

Will continue to use this program for community development, Jane Marriott



Britain's flagship higher education scholarship program has completed 40 years. Jane Marriott, the British High Commissioner in Pakistan, says that people from all walks of life in Pakistan will continue to use this program for the development of society.


A special event was held in Islamabad on the 40th anniversary of Chevening, inviting many of the 2,000 Chevening alumni from across Pakistan, and paying tribute to the Chevening Scholars and Fellows Programme.



British High Commissioner Jane Marriott, while expressing her determination to improve the skills of Pakistani youth, said that it is an honor for Britain to host brilliant minds.


"We are trying to help young leaders to the best of their ability, especially those who don't have strong financial resources to fulfill their dreams and I am proud that in the last few years, we have helped the big cities," said Jean-Mariet. Instead, people from all over Pakistan and especially remote areas were selected for this scholarship.


He said that we have closed the gender gap in a short period of time which is now at the level of equality among men and women, and the first transgender scholarship has also been given in the same year. All this has been done to highlight the creativity of the entire Pakistan and further develop it.


British High Commissioner Jane Marriott said that the journey does not stop at the completion of education, in 40 years we have developed a global network of more than 50 thousand alumni, many of whom are playing leadership roles in their countries.
