FAISALABAD:

Speakers at a seminar arranged by Government College University Faisalabad (GCUF) on Friday encouraged people who had been unable to pursue higher education to benefit from the option of distance learning.

She said distance learning enabled employed people to continue their studies. She said that higher education was a vehicle for socio-economic development.

She said that the GCUF had devised a comprehensive distance learning system by providing state-of-the-art facilities for students.
