Higher and professional education is going through a transformational phase. Leveraging the technology innovation and widespread use of digital channels, international education providers have begun offering their higher education programs in partnership with multiple domestic TNE colleges based in countries around the world.
In partnership with TNE colleges, ICMA Digital plans to offer its differentiated four-year ‘professional pathway’ leading towards a professional designation as an alternative to the four year ‘academic pathway’ offered by international universities. ICMA Digital is in conversation with multiple TNE colleges in Pakistan and the GCC region.
The launch of the first TNE college partnership with The Royal Colosseum in Pakistan took place in August 2024.
Pakistani Schools in the GCC Region
There is a large Pakistani diaspora in the GCC region and a notable portion of them have their families with them. Most children of Pakistanis resident in the GCC are studying with the Pakistan community schools that are often overseen by Pakistani Embassies.
Most Pakistani families with children graduating from Pakistani schools with A-Level qualifications, or the Federal Board Intermediate certificate, find it unaffordable to enrol with the domestic private or public sector GCC universities. Having lived and studied in the GCC region, the young high school graduates prefer to find a credible higher education option in the GCC region that can equip them for starting a career in a specialization suitable for the new digital era.
ICMA Digital is in talks with multiple GCC-based Pakistan schools to enter an alliance partnership to offer a professional career pathway in jobs of future.
Partnership announcements are expected shortly.
