A scheme for the establishment of two technical universities is to be drawn up by a committee of experts which will be appointed in the near future by the government of Pakistan. These universities, of which one shall be located in East and one in West Pakistan, are part of the efforts made to remedy weaknesses in technical education and to make up for the deficiencies in quality and quantity of technically trained personnel. It will, however, still take considerable time to satisfy the pressing needs for advanced study in engineering fields and to provide to proper atmosphere and facilities for research.
