Sindh Governor Syed Muhammad Nehal Hashmi has said that education is Pakistan’s heritage and today’s youth will lead the country towards 2047. He urged young people to develop modern skills, uphold strong moral values and contribute to national progress.
He expressed these views while addressing the joint convocation ceremony of MiTE and TMUC 2026. The Governor congratulated graduating students, their parents and teachers on the occasion.
Hashmi said a degree represents more than an academic achievement. It also fulfils the dreams of parents who support their children’s education. He praised teachers for their guidance and dedication.
Youth Must Embrace Modern Technology
The Governor urged graduates to explore artificial intelligence, digital technology, the digital economy and entrepreneurship. He said young people could become senior government officials, prime ministers or even presidents of Pakistan.

He stressed that the country’s future depends on a skilled, educated and responsible generation. Young people should use their knowledge to support innovation, create jobs and strengthen the national economy.
Quaid-e-Azam’s Struggle Remains an Inspiration
Referring to Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Hashmi praised his determination during the struggle for Pakistan. He said Jinnah worked tirelessly for the creation of the country despite his illness.
The Governor reminded graduates that Pakistan emerged from the sacrifices and efforts of its founders. He urged young people to honour that legacy through sincere work and a commitment to national development.
Governor Highlights Pakistan’s Nuclear Programme
Hashmi also referred to Pakistan’s nuclear programme. He credited former prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto with laying its foundations.
He said former prime minister Nawaz Sharif later conducted six nuclear tests in response to India’s five tests. According to the Governor, these tests strengthened Pakistan’s defence capabilities.
Danish Schools Planned for Sindh and Islamabad
The Governor said Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif was establishing Danish Schools in Sindh and Islamabad, following their introduction in Punjab.
He described the initiative as an effort to improve access to quality education. He stressed that educational opportunities could help empower young people and support Pakistan’s long-term development.
Hashmi also praised the educational contributions of MiTE and TMUC leadership, particularly Dr Faisal Mushtaq and Professor Dr Huma Baqai. He called for stronger academic collaboration and closer links with international universities.
International Academics Attend Convocation
The ceremony was attended by Professor Anthony Woodman, vice-chancellor of the University of Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, and Professor Melanie Gray, deputy vice-chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts.
Faculty members, parents and graduating students also attended the event.
In his concluding remarks, Hashmi urged graduates to look beyond personal success. He encouraged them to improve society, create employment opportunities and bring honour to Pakistan.
He said true success lies not only in individual achievement but also in making a positive contribution to society.
