Reformations with modernization of Balochistan is dependent on indigenous higher education methodologies for the competence and motivation of students, teachers and researchers, yet knowledge levels have often not kept pace with world academic dynamics, putting further pressure on already strained capacities. BUITEMS supports modernizing education methodologies to provide graduates with high-level employable skills, as well as the transferable skills that equip graduates for a fast-changing market. The University also anticipates a strong need for flexible, innovative learning approaches and delivery methods to improve quality and relevance.
