Student Welfare

At the seminar the various schemes to promote student welfare at present existing in the universities of the region were reviewed and it was found that apart from Israel, Australia and New Zealand very little in the way of welfare schemes (student health schemes, concessions, cooperatives, etc.) existed in the participating countries. Therefore the seminar recommended that a special short term seminar be held for the purpose of reviewing all student welfare schemes that could be put into operation to the benefit of Asian students. Such a seminar must involve students and countries which are in a position to operate any of the possible schemes and should be led by experts in the organisation of such schemes.
