Rector’s Conference 23

Rectors Conference is an initiative of Superior University under the leader- ship of Rector, Dr. Sumaira Rehman, to encourage a collaborative approach among Higher Education Institutions by sharing best practices and catalyzing academic excellence. The three previous Rectors’ Conferences, convened in November 2018, November 2019, and December 2022, served as crucial milestones in our continuous pursuit of advancing higher education in Pakistan. These gatherings successfully achieved their primary objectives, which were to discern existing gaps within academia and shed light on the formidable challenges confronting the leadership of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) across the spectrum, encompassing both the public and private sectors.

In these impactful conferences, we were honored to host a diverse and influential assembly of participants. These included more than 100 Vice Chancellors and Rectors, individuals who represent the helm of educational institutions nationwide. Additionally, we were privileged to welcome over 50 Industry Representatives, who provided invaluable insights into the ever evolving demands of the job market and the interface between academia and industry. The conferences also featured the active participation of 10 Government Regulatory Body Officials, whose perspectives and contributions were instrumental in charting the way forward for our educational landscape. Moreover, we were fortunate to collaborate with 10+ International Partners and speakers, whose global perspectives and experiences enriched the discourse and provided valuable benchmarks for our educational endeavors.
