The new High-Tech University was constructed in just 2 years. They have stolen all the great professors and teachers and are providing education to all the great minds in the world on a scholarship program. They aim to become the most technologically advanced country in the next 10 years.

My uncle came from China and he is also a part of the research team there. His name is Khurram Khan. He also developed an identification method using the retina of the eyes for the Saudis. And he told me that this Uni will be opening today. And I just saw this on BBC ! Great!

He is also one of the first few Pakistanis to have PH.D in Biometrics. He is a member research team of Biometrics there @ the uni in Saudia.

1.5 billion$ worth of equipment? That`s just wow.
Let`s hope it makes a name for itself in the coming years Insh`Allah. It would be nice to see people going towards Muslim countries in their quest for Higher Education

They invited a beggar?
Anyway it`s nice to see Arab countries catching up when it comes to science. Education isn`t the top priority in those countries.

Well, I don't know what the exact criteria is, but my uncle who is part of a research team there said they invited all the top scorers from China, Mexico, America, Britain etc and gave them all free scholarships plus allowances.
