Higher education relevance and quality is the main forte to prepare students with apt andtransferable knowledge, skills and core competencies elemental to their future success.Similarly, a higher education institution must create a high quality learning atmosphereacknowledging and supporting good teaching within a campus.

Higher education curricula, albeit administered and well planned, are often reactive inresponse to changing needs of indigenous economy, and often at times struggle to preemptcareers of tomorrow. Reformations with modernization of Balochistan is dependent onindigenous higher education methodologies for the competence and motivation of students,teachers and researchers, yet knowledge levels have often not kept pace with world academicdynamics, putting further pressure on already strained capacities.

BUITEMS supports modernizing education methodologies to provide graduates with high-levelemployable skills, as well as the transferable skills that equip graduates for a fast-changingmarket. The University also anticipates a strong need for flexible, innovative learningapproaches and delivery methods to improve quality and relevance. One key way of achievingthis, in line with the HEC policy, is to exploit the transformational benefits of indigenoustrainings and workshops and other new academic dissemination to enrich teaching, improvelearning experiences and support personalized learning.

Higher education innovation can best be learned through collaboration of two complementaryentities despite their own respective knowledge scale. Pakistan-China collaboration in highereducation has a significant and admirable timeline. China’s commending attention and interestin Pakistan’s preferment for expansion, quality improvement, and equity balance in highereducation is a manifestation of its planned higher education innovative system and lessonscultured through its advancements. In the spirit of carpe diem, BUITEMS mandate involvesseeking such collaboration for capacity building and performance improvement of our studentsand faculty. The University garners for professional and technical advice for developingopportunities for research collaboration and student and faculty exchange programs.

In today’s age where most knowledge and learning is acquired electronically, value of bookfairs and their future role is never the less substantial. Organizing such events at highereducation campuses is one of best practices that assist students and faculty likewise to benefitfrom the multifarious books of focused field of their interest available at their doorstep. Bookfairs at BUITEMS are based on a confluence of psychology, behavior and the academicculture, despite limiting our organization of such events in numbers, is highly compensatedfor by the enthusiastic love, for our efforts, equally by our students, teachers, and staff. Booksin print are increasingly more attractive - especially to digital natives – BUITEMS youth. Theyare re-thinking and innovatively developing their own reading models to cope with the newrealities of the digital with print world.
