AMU vs Ivy League Colleges
- Instead of talking about Institutions of Eminence, now we should think as to how Aligarh Muslim University would be like Ivy League Universities, since it is having environment, time and resources to carry the light of this institution far and wide till darkness disappears from all around. If you carefully analyze about these Ivy League colleges, you would surprisingly come to know that these universities had adopted the public choice theory propounded by Buchanan Jr who emphasized on the privatization of education in US. Thus, AMU can also provide the benchmark for world class institution by establishing itself among the top global universities by taking four following steps:
- (a) transparency in the appointment of the faculty members (Aslam Pervaiz, VC, MANUU, made an emphasis on this issue yesterday in the Kennedy Auditorium);
- (b) not just generous grants by the alumni from across the world but their inclusive participation in order to check the status report;
- (c) the reviewed and revised syllabus by an advisory panel from respective fields;
- (d) inculcating a sense of competitive interests along with moral education. The fourth above-mentioned point would definitely distinguish Aligarh Muslim University from Harvard, MIT, Yale, Cornell, Princeton, Stanford, Brown, Columbia and Penn Universities. Interestingly, because of not including the moral part of the education in Ivy League colleges, it has largely faied to produce good human beings which is the purpose of education
- The best tribute to Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, on this 201 birth anniversary, would be firmly resolving to turn the original vision of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan into reality by setting global standards in higher education. Eid ul Alig Mubarak ❤️
