CPEC's Educational Scope in Pakistan

    China Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) appears as a major Prosperity Tool which can help Pakistan to overcome her economic problems. CPEC has been researched up till now in various trade and commerce fields but its most important linkage with education was hardto find. This study examines “The Educational Scope of CPEC in Pakistan”. The study broadens our horizon regarding the fields of education which are required in CPEC. It is a case study in the qualitative paradigm to explore the views of philanthropic elites, teachers, and students using interviews and documents. It reveals the employment opportunities, concept of SEZs, and availability of manpower for these SEZs along with the future of Pakistans education. It is through this education that all educational institutes will be combined to form clusters of educational hubs linked together to foster manpower for Special Economic Zones(SEZs) and all other national projects in the future.
